Dr. Tipoteh one of the progressives

An institution of higher learning in Liberia wants its students to learn their lessons at the university through the computer. Or what is known as online, but more than half of its teachers are not computer literate. The Higher Education Institution of Liberia stands by and looks on as this university continues its wrongdoing. This Commentary helps to end and prevent this wrongdoing.
One way to help stop and prevent this wrongdoing is to train people to become computer literate. The fifty-three-year-old Liberian NGO Susukuu has begun helping people become computer literate. These people become teachers of computer-literate students. One case is the assistance being given to the Smell No Taste (SNT) Community.
This assistance to the SNT Community comes in the form of a laptop donation from Susukuu to help set up a computer training center at the SNT Community High School. Susukuu is already cooperating with the SNT Community, especially on climate change problems like flooding. This assistance is most important because it is connected with raising awareness, bringing about development, and improving people’s living standards through the Rule of Law.
This development method is working well, as seen in the number of lawmakers who wanted to be re-elected but were not re-elected. Check out the figures. This can be seen by looking at the numbers from the October 10, 2023, General and Presidential Election, in which 76.86% of Liberia’s voting-age population voted through the Rule of Law.
This world-class voting was due to the awareness-raising that continues to expose the corruption of the Liberian National Elections Commission (NEC). The best and only way to have fair elections in Liberia and elsewhere is to transform the unfair prevailing electoral system into a fair, enduring electoral system. This transformation is the only way that persons with good records can get elected to bring in the system of Justice, the indispensable ingredient for Peace and Progress in Liberia and in any other country.
