Creating Working Schools in Liberia

Clip: Season 20 | 7m 51s

West Africa’s Liberia was founded by freed American slaves. In recent years, two long wars and an ebola epidemic all but destroyed the country, not least its school system. Now, as correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports, Liberian educators are trying to re-build their schools by experimenting with a new system -- part private, run by an American company, and part public, as before.
