An Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at gathering in Sierra Leone

The Education Secretary of the Ahmadiyya Mission in Sierra Leone, Mr. Fuard F. Lawleh has said in Bo that the Ahmadiyya Mission has nearly 300 schools both primary and secondary throughout Sierra Leone, complementing government’s effort to accomplish the Free Quality Education.

Mr. Lawleh was addressing over 23,000 participants who attended this year’s Jalsa Salana including Paramount Chiefs, members of the diplomatic and consular Corps, parliamentarians, Councilors, all the Resident Ministers, other Muslim organizations, Christians, members of the Inter Religious Council and members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at across the country.

Giving an overview of the educational performance of Ahmadiyya schools in 2019, Mr. Lawleh said from July 2019, five new schools were constructed by the mission and ten schools painted accounting for 43 classrooms for over 2,150 beneficiaries. He said a total of 151 pupils and students benefited from the mission’s education financial assistance in various learning institutions. The Education Secretary said they can boast of so many graduates in various disciplines from higher institutions of learning in and out of Sierra Leone.

He said the WASSCE 2019 result was not very good but Ahmadiyya Muslim Secondary School Rokupr performed remarkable well.
