Education profile 路 Reference periods shown
Liberia's Ministry of Education launched a nationwide school census in July 2025 covering the 2023/24 and 2024/25 academic years across all 16 educational counties and 125 educational districts. Liberia's newest national evidence is centred on a school census rather than a published final enrolment total, so the page does not invent a figure before the census results are available.

How the education pathway works
The stage map follows the Ministry's grade references from kindergarten through Grade 12 and keeps promotion points visible.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Kindergarten | Early years | Kindergarten precedes the numbered grade sequence. |
| Grades 1 to 6 | Primary | Primary schooling leads to the Grade 6 completion point. |
| Grades 7 to 9 | Junior secondary | Grade 9 marks the transition into senior secondary education. |
| Grades 10 to 12 | Senior secondary | Senior secondary study culminates in Grade 12 completion. |

How to read the Liberia evidence
These are administrative facts, not measures of learning outcomes, and the page labels them accordingly.
The census is designed to collect enrolment, staffing, infrastructure and school-profile data, but unpublished totals are deliberately omitted.
