Alternative Youth Radio (AYR) is Liberia’s first youth-led community radio station, headquartered in Zorzor, Lofa County. Since launching in June 2016, AYR has been a powerful voice for underserved youth, using radio broadcasting, digital media, and grassr

oots advocacy to educate, inform, and transform communities across rural Liberia. Broadcasting 24/7 on 98.9 FM and streaming worldwide at www.ayrlib.com, AYR reaches audiences across Lofa, Bong, Nimba, Gbarpolu Counties, and parts of neighbouring Guinea. AYR delivers high-impact programs on youth empowerment, civic engagement, girls’ rights, public health, local governance, education, and rural development. In 2024, AYR completed a state-of-the-art media complex—a milestone for youth-led innovation in Liberia. We are now building the country’s first rural, tuition-free School of Professional Journalism and Vocational Education, which will train over 25,000 young people in media, ethical leadership, and sustainable skills in the next ten years. AYR’s impact model is rooted in our theory of change:

“When rural youth are equipped with knowledge, skills, and platforms to express themselves, they become powerful changemakers who lead development in their own communities.”
To date, AYR has trained and mentored more than 50 young leaders in journalism, broadcasting, and civic leadership—including youth with disabilities—and provides daily volunteer opportunities for 30+ rural young people. We believe in inclusion, innovation, and investment in the potential of Liberia’s next generation.

The Ministry of Education has warned schools against withholding WASSCE candidate numbers or examination information from students because of unpaid tuition or other school-related fees.

According to the Ministry, it has received reports that some schools are denying students access to candidate numbers and examination details due to financial obligations.

The Ministry said the practice violates its policy and warned that schools involved could face administrative sanctions, including fines, suspension, or revocation of operational licenses.

It stressed that no school is allowed to deny, delay, withhold, or obstruct a student’s participation in any WAEC-administered examination because of unpaid tuition, arrears, graduation fees, registration fees, or any other financial obligation.

With the WASSCE examination scheduled to begin on Monday, June 1, 2026, the Ministry has directed all schools currently withholding candidate numbers or examination information to immediately release them to eligible students.

The Ministry also called on parents, guardians, and students to report any school refusing to release candidate numbers or preventing students from sitting the examination.

Reports can be made through District Education Officers, County Education Officers, the Ministry’s social media inboxes, the Bureau of Basic and Secondary Education, or the nearest Ministry of Education office.

The warning comes as schools prepare to close ahead of the examination period.
