ArcelorMittal Liberia completed a three-day digital-literacy programme for 38 teachers and administrators in its school system in Yekepa, Nimba County, FrontPageAfrica and The New Dawn report.

The company’s Learning and Development Section organised the training after assessments identified gaps in staff computer skills. The reports attribute that account to Learning and Development Manager Roosevelt Richards.

Sessions covered laptop operation, Microsoft Word and Excel, SharePoint, email and tools for lesson planning, grade management and record-keeping. The New Dawn also reports an introduction to Microsoft Copilot for research and lesson preparation.

Trainers stressed checking AI-generated material before using it in class, according to The New Dawn. The reports describe the completed training, not measured improvements in pupil achievement or an independently evaluated outcome.
