More than 25,000 high school teachers in Liberia have gone on strike, demanding the resignation of the Education Minister, George Warner.

The walk-out is in protest against calls by Mr Warner for all teachers to resit their qualifying exams owing to growing dissatisfaction with teaching standards across the country. A few years ago, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf described the education system as ‘messy’.

Liberian journalist Cholo Brooks explains.
