The unswerving and unrelenting scorn of the educational system in Africa’s oldest independent nation is completely reprehensible for a country that experienced a prolonged brutal and barbaric civil crisis, which ravaged every sector.  During the long years of senseless and gruesome strife, nearly all of the infrastructural facilities that played host to educational institutions were severely damaged.  A great deal of outstanding Liberian educators were either viciously murdered in cold blood or narrowly escaped into exile or some kind of safe havens in search of survival.  Some students were conscripted in various warring factions while others abandoned classes to serve as ‘freedom fighters’.  As a matter of fact, graduation gowns, caps, hoods and tassels which symbolize academia were being used as battle front clothing for malicious hooligans who were profoundly supported through direct assistance from well-educated Liberians and others with good financial influence.   Moreover, institutions and individuals’ precious documents were loosely scattered within close proximity or long-distance places, because of the ignorance of dissident forces.  The absolute lack of knowledge resulted into massive looting and destruction of public facilities that wreaked social services and brought untold and inhuman suffering to many Liberians and foreigners alike.  Besides, a good number of academics and other professionals fell prey to the hands of unschooled hoodlums which led to the sharp increase in the human resource capacity gap and drastic brain drain.
