Excellence in Learning in Liberia (EXCEL) Project Hosts Stakeholder Validation of Revised Academic Calendar for Foundational Learning

The Ministry of Education, through the Excellence in Learning in Liberia (EXCEL) Project, has completed a stakeholder review and validation of the revised Academic Calendar for Kindergarten through Grade 2 and primary schools under the Foundational Learning Program.

The one-day EXCEL Project activity brought together Ministry technical teams, county education officials, representatives of public and private school systems, development partners, and project staff to review the proposed calendar and ensure it responds to the practical needs of schools.

Participants examined key academic periods, holidays, examinations, major school activities, and proposed timetables, while identifying areas requiring adjustment before final approval.

The validated calendar will now move toward finalization, publication, and nationwide dissemination. Once approved, it is expected to guide academic planning and school operations for the next three years, providing schools with greater consistency and predictability in organizing teaching and learning.

The activity forms part of the EXCEL Project’s support to foundational learning, helping the Ministry strengthen how instructional time is planned, protected, and used across schools.
