Monrovia, Liberia — The Chairman of the Coalition of the Student Unification Party (SUP) at the high school level, Amara M. Donzo, has issued a strong call on President Joseph N. Boakai to immediately dismiss the Assistant Superintendent of the Monrovia Consolidated School System (MCSS), Mr. Emmanuel K. Robertson.
According to Donzo, the conduct and performance of the current assistant superintendent have raised serious concerns among the student body.
He stated that Mr. Robertson’s continued presence in his current role poses a threat to the integrity and effectiveness of the educational environment within the MCSS.
“This is not a demand made lightly,” Chairman Donzo asserted. “The actions and leadership style of Mr. Robertson have undermined students’ trust and disrupted the smooth functioning of the schools under his supervision. If this situation is not addressed, it could lead to further instability in the school system.”
Donzo further warned that failure by President Boakai to act on their demand within the coming days would compel the student community to resort to unspecified actions to express their discontent and protect their rights. “We are prepared to take every lawful measure to ensure our voices are heard and respected,” he added.
The Coalition of SUP at High School level leadership claims that several recent administrative decisions by Mr. Robertson have been made without proper consultation with students, teachers, or key stakeholders. They argue that such unilateral decisions have led to confusion, mistrust, and growing frustration within the student community.
Meanwhile, Assistant Superintendent Robertson has denied these accusations levied against him.
He disclosed that these allegations are intended to distract his activities to serve at the Monrovia Consolidated School System.
The Monrovia Consolidated School System remains one of Liberia’s largest public education networks, serving thousands of students across the capital. Any prolonged tension between student groups and the administration could disrupt learning activities, especially as schools prepare for major academic assessments.
