Liberia National Fire Service Director Urges Return of Civic Education

MONROVIA — The Director of the Liberia National Fire Service (LNFS), G. Warsuwah Barvoul Sr., has urged high school graduates across the country to take their education seriously, emphasizing that it is the foundation for shaping their minds and becoming productive citizens.

Speaking as the guest speaker at the second graduation ceremony of Bishop Albert D. Miller High School, Director Barvoul Sr. stressed that education is the bedrock of a prosperous society. He called for the inclusion of disciplines that ensure children learn to do the right thing in society.

In his speech, themed “Education, a Powerful Tool to Change the World,” Director Barvoul Sr. highlighted how education helps citizens abide by the laws, contributing to a harmonious society.

“Education not only helps people become better citizens and secure better-paying jobs, but it also helps them distinguish between good and bad. It teaches the value of hard work and fosters growth and development, leading to a better society where rights, laws, and regulations are respected,” he said.

The LNFS Director further emphasized that a better society can only emerge when citizens are conscious of doing the right thing, knowing they have a future to protect.

“As you leave Bishop Albert D. Miller School today, I encourage you not to be complacent with just a high school diploma. Pursue higher education or vocational skills to contribute to society, rather than becoming a burden to it,” Barvoul Sr. advised.

He reminded the graduates to cherish what they learned in high school, urging them to remain focused and pursue their goals with determination. “Have a Plan A and a Plan B, and be prepared to face challenges. Endurance is key to achieving success,” he added.

Reflecting on his own experiences, Director Barvoul Sr. shared that it was his perseverance and focus on his dreams that enabled him to reach his current position as a leader. He also applauded parents for supporting their children’s education and urged them to continue guiding their children to prevent them from straying and becoming a burden on society.

In his closing remarks, Director Barvoul Sr. called on all instructors to be role models for their students, as their behavior reflects either positively or negatively on the school and the broader society.

He also urged the Government of Liberia, through the Ministry of Education (MOE), to reintroduce civic education in the national curriculum. “Civic education plays a vital role in molding the minds of the youth, helping them understand their rights and responsibilities, and preventing conflicts with the law,” he explained.

Furthermore, Barvoul Sr. called on the government to allocate subsidies for private schools through the national legislature, enabling them to pay staff and improve learning environments.

As part of his commitment to education, Director Barvoul Sr. donated L$30,000 to the administration of Bishop Albert D. Miller High School for the improvement of its facilities.

The event, held over the weekend at the school in New Georgia Estate, District #13, Montserrado County, saw 15 students graduate from the institution.
