Minister of Technical and higher education
Dr. Ramatulai Wurie
Education remains central to Sierra Leone’s national transformation agenda. Under the bold and people-centred leadership of His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio, our focus is on building a higher and technical education system that is inclusive, relevant, and responsive to national development needs.
We are committed to strengthening institutional governance, improving quality assurance, expanding access, and aligning teaching, research, and innovation with the skills required for a modern economy. Through strategic partnerships and policy reforms, we continue to empower universities, technical institutes, lecturers, and students to drive innovation, productivity, and social progress.
Together, we are laying a strong foundation for human capital development and positioning education as a catalyst for sustainable growth and opportunity for all Sierra Leoneans.
