Critique of Sierra Leone's Education Policy

Abstract

Since its inception in 1970, the Sierra Leone education system has undergone several evolutions in order to better suit the needs of the population and gain maximum advantages. This article provides an overview of the Sierra Leone education system, as well as a thorough study of the system and responses to the system's inquiry questions. These evaluations were conducted to meet the deadline of ensuring that most children get a basic education that is both accessible and inexpensive, to raise the number of students enrolled in higher education institutions, and to enhance the quality of instructors and learning data. The review's goal was to look at educational options for Sierra Leoneans, bridge the gap between illiterate and literate persons, and enhance the quality of information provided. This goes hand in hand with improving people's comprehension in order to make better decisions in the future. This study has brought together the opinions of a variety of people who are engaged in critically evaluating Sierra Leone education. It identifies the flaws in the educational system and proposes proposals that, if applied, may make a difference in its development. As the largest stakeholder in the education system, the government has a role to play in implementation, and its efforts will have a significant influence on the system. The administration should assess and resolve the fundamental causes of the difficulties in the education system. In this study, action plans are presented to help people transition from policy belief to policy implementation. This is founded on the premise that the education system can be improved; it can evolve from its inherited colonial legacy to a more tailored and useful system that is suitable to all Sierra Leone residents and increases the quality of knowledge available to them.
