Monrovia Consolidated School System teacher dispute

Overview

The Monrovia Consolidated School System (MCSS) has resolved a labor dispute with teachers regarding employment status, salary disparities, and welfare concerns. Following protests and a go-slow action by the MCSS Teachers Association, the government committed to addressing long-standing grievances.

Superintendent Dr. Auguries E. Stevens announced that 409 verified volunteer teachers have been enrolled on the government payroll. This includes a group of 201 teachers expected to receive retroactive salary payments following the October 2026 payroll processing. Furthermore, salary adjustments for 133 qualified teachers are planned through the proposed 2027 national budget.

As a result of these negotiations and commitments from the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, and the Civil Service Agency, academic activities in Monrovia's public schools have officially resumed.
