By Matalay S. Kollie
Kpoloyah, Zota District â The Dean of Admissions, Records, and Registration at B**g County Technical College, Ebee Kollie, has expressed deep appreciation and reaffirmed the institution's commitment to education during the dedication ceremony of a newly reconstructed school in Kpoloyah, Zota District, B**g County.
During his remarks, Dean Kollie acknowledged the community's support in making the project a reality and announced the fulfillment of a previous promise to sponsor three children from the area. He confirmed that one of the students, a young girl, has already been enrolled at the St. Martin's Catholic High School in Gbarnga, and has also pledged to provide tuition for the remaining two students.
In addition, Dean Kollie has pledged to sponsor three classroom teachers at the LICOSESS Mobile Teacher Training College to pursue "C" Certificates. The support, he said, is intended to empower volunteer teachers as a means of enabling them to impart to the upcoming generation.
Emphasizing collective responsibility in national development, Dean Kollie praised the collaborative effort that led to the schoolâs reconstruction. "The President of Liberia cannot be everywhere at once," he said. "But when we all work together, we develop our towns, villages, and cities."
He urged parents to prioritize education over traditional labor, calling on them not to send children to the farm or into the bush, but instead to ensure they attend school. "Education is the way forward," he emphasized.
Dean Kollie also relayed a message of gratitude from Deputy Finance Minister Bill McGill Jones, who was unable to attend the ceremony due to an urgent call to the ministry.
