Mr. Ricks acknowledged that low computer literacy remains a major challenge in Liberia, noting that many young people lack basic digital skills--a situation he said is hindering the nation's growth and development.

He emphasized that access to technology and digital skills is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Ricks encouraged Liberians, especially youths, to embrace digital education, stressing that digital skills are essential for national development and global competitiveness.

The Paynesville Digital Hub has been operational for nearly two years since its inception in 2024. It offers training in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, internet and email skills, web design and development, and graphic design. The program runs in three-month cycles and is divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

In addition to the digital training initiative, the institution also supports WAEC tutorial programs by engaging qualified professionals, including doctors and engineers, to strengthen science education and improve student performance nationwide. http://
