2021 Accomplishment Report

Department of Education So many people are searching for life’s “new normal.” Although 2021 could never be considered a year of normalcy, it did offer many opportunities for assessing how things are going, focusing on what should be celebrated, changing what can be improved, and finding joy in our blessings. The Department of Education offered academic support programs for students of all ages. The Higher Education Program returned to 100% funding eligibility, tutoring became available again, and programs that had been suspended or modified returned. By putting health and safety measures in place, the DoE was even able to partner with the Center of History and Culture and have a very successful and much needed Kë Gbéshmen (summer camp). In Fall 2021, to the delight of students and staff alike, Zagbëgon Early Learning and Development Academy returned to in-person learning.

Department of Education: Programs and Services

The Department of Education programs run on an academic year from August 1- July 31. The programs and services are designed to assist and support students of all ages and from locations near and far. For 2021, available funding was back. The big changes came in the methods of communicating and delivery of services. Technology allowed business to flow in the midst of social distancing. Email, phone, fax, credit card payments, and virtual meetings became typical modes of operation which many have found to be highly efficient and even preferred.
