What Continent is Liberia in?

Is Liberia part of North Africa?

Liberia is a West African state, bordered by Guinea, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast and the Atlantic Ocean.

It is one of the poorest states in the world and currently ranks 178th out of 191 countries and territories in the Human Development Index (HDI) ranking.

Hunger is one of the most widespread problems in the country. It is estimated that 16% of families have difficulty finding food and 1.6 million children do not have sufficient nutrition.

In addition, the country still has difficulty fully recovering from the Ebola outbreak that occurred from 2014 to 2016.

In Liberia, as in many poor countries, survival often takes priority over education. Children have suffered greatly over the years, even in terms of education.

The years of the civil war led to the destruction of thousands of schools.

Still, in the country, the number of children enrolled in school is very low. It is estimated that 210,622 children of school age do not attend any institution. More than half of the students do not make it to the fifth grade.
