Creating Working Schools in Liberia
Clip: Season 20 | 7m 51s
Can a private, for-profit US company repair the broken school system in Liberia?
West Africa’s Liberia was founded by freed American slaves. In recent years, two long wars and an ebola epidemic all but destroyed the country, not least its school system. Now, as correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports, Liberian educators are trying to re-build their schools by experimenting with a new system -- part private, run by an American company, and part public, as before.
