New Hope, Paynesville – November 13, 2024] Students from the Monrovia Vocational Training Center (MVTC) staged a major protest on the Japanese Freeway, calling for immediate reforms from the school’s administration. The demonstration was fueled by ongoing dissatisfaction with the lack of qualified instructors and inadequate educational facilities, which students claim have hindered their learning experience.
Protesters expressed their grievances, highlighting that it has been over a year since they received consistent educational resources.
Many instructors, according to the students, have been absent without replacements, leaving the students without essential guidance as they near graduation.
The students also voiced concerns about the lack of hands-on training, a critical component of their vocational studies.
They noted that without practical experience, their ability to secure jobs post-graduation is severely compromised.
Efforts to seek intervention from the Ministry of Youth and Sports reportedly went unanswered, further exacerbating their frustrations.
“We won’t stop protesting until the administration and government address our concerns. We need instructors and a director who are present,” stated a group of visibly frustrated students.
Previous demonstrations have similarly raised issues regarding instructor absenteeism, with students referring to the new director as a “ghost” due to his noticeable absence from the school.
The determination displayed by the MVTC students underscores their commitment to demanding the quality education they deserve.
