The Journal of Sierra Leone Studies

Thank you so much for visiting The Journal and we hope that you (a) find it both interesting and of use to you and (b) that you will inform colleagues, friends and students of the existence of a Journal dedicated to the study of Sierra Leone. [...] All researchers were asked to agree on the meaning of each question and the translation to ensure consistency and reduce the risk of misinterpretation in the field. [...] The majority of men and women had a secondary education making up 37% of men and 30% of women. [...] Students make up 31% of men and 33% of women with a secondary education and teachers account for 44% of men and 39% of women with a tertiary education level. [...] As expected, the majority of female respondents had a primary level of education, however an educational ceiling, created by a patriarchal culture that relegates women to the house duties and denies the importance of their education, still exists preventing women from advancing to a secondary and especially tertiary level of education.
