Every single student who applied for admission
into the University of Liberia failed the school's
admission test, and there were over 25,000 of
them!
A university official said students who took the
$25 exam did not have a basic understanding of
English, the BBC reports, and it was the first
time that all entrants failed.
Liberia's President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, has
said the country's education system is still "in a
mess" following a civil war that ended a decade
ago.
Education Minister Etmonia David-Tarpeh will
meet with university officials to discuss the 100
percent failure rate, the BBC reports.
"I know there are a lot of weaknesses in the
schools but for a whole group of people to take
exams and every single one of them to fail, I
have my doubts about that," David-Tarpeh said.
"It's like mass murder."
