We’d started the review and update of 4 main laws in Sierra Leone during the last few years. We successfully developed the Basic and Senior Secondary Education Act (2023) during the last Parliament, and are now putting finishing touches to updating the WAEC Act (1984). This might be one of the first laws to be passed by the new Parliament!! We are about to enter drafting of the updated Teaching Service Commission Act (2011) before rounding up with the already drafted Sierra Leone Library Board Act.
All these laws are being done in consultation with experts and all major constituents of society. They underpin the revolution happening in our sector, ” he stated.
