Superintendent Biakpeh described the move as a huge outcome for Liberians.
“Our future goal is to see an overall abandonment of Bush School activities in our country,” Biakpeh added:
He said a law must be enacted and properly implemented to ensure that every girl at risk is protected.
“The government needs to show strong commitment and prioritize the issue about Bush School activities in Liberia.”
Also speaking, Mary Larteh, Paramount Chief of Jorquelleh District in Bong County, said bringing an end to Bush School activities is possible, but there needs to be means of survival for those who already consider initiation as employment.
“They do it not out of love, but out of custom and ignorance,” she added.
