Global union federation Education International will release its scathing report into Education Minister George Werner’s Partnership Schools for Liberia (PSL) scheme in the capital Monrovia today.

PSL has already seen 93 primary and nursery schools outsourced to eight companies over the last year — including Bridge International Academies (BIA), the shack-school outfit bankrolled by world’s richest man Bill Gates.
