The president and Chief Executive Officer of the Standard English Center (SEC), had flagged the importance of quality education to its 22nd graduating class as a means to shift in developing the minds of the next generation.
Moses Carter who founded the Standard English Center said young people that are in search of learning institutions should remember that education is not all about going to a place that is heard of being a school, but a place that is noted for providing quality education.
He told the graduates to keep pursuing education from relevant institutions so that the essence of the resources invested in their journey reaches its objectives.
“Be glad of what you have learned to be given the certificate awarded to you on this day. As you may be aware, education is not just concerned with the grades you scored during your studies, but your ability to put it into use,” he said; calling on the graduates to speak to their audience in ways that their respective countries will celebrate them.
According to him, the main objective of schooling is to be able to spent time in area that is not only conducive but also suitable and smooth for studying activities so that skills can be acquired from professionals that have requisite knowledge in teaching among others.
Giving a history of the Standard English Center, the CEO, said the center was founded in 2010 at a time when the country was suffering from the growing speculations that young people graduating from both high schools and colleges were not fully equipped or tutored in Standard English compositions and presentations.
He said the Standard English Center was established to help people in Liberia learn fluent English while providing assistance to other nationals that see English as a second language to improve their bilingual skills.
Over the weekend, the Standard English center graduated its 22nd class since its establishment in 2010; taking the total number of graduates from the school to over five hundred persons in both Liberia and others outside Liberia.
The 2022 graduating class presented ten candidates that successfully completed the requirement for graduation, majority of whom are Guinean nationals that desired to learn English as an alternative language.
