The Cost of Education
Bonnie Allen/World Vision Report
In Kakata, Liberia, Patience Gaye had to have sex with a math teacher to graduate high school.
Description
Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is inspiring girls in Liberia, resulting in more girls enrolled in Liberian schools.
Once enrolled in school, though, the girls don't see many women in positions of authority. Teachers in Liberia are predominantly male — and that's causing a serious problem for some of the students.
