Uhuru, LNSU to Unveil Liberia First WASSE Refresher APP
Monrovia, Liberia – As a way of increasing the gap of students’ success in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), Uhuru Tech Solution in partnership with Liberian National Student Union (LNSU) and LITSU is expected to launch the first ever mobile “refresher application”.
Designed specifically for high school students preparing for WASSCE and school Mock Exams, Alecia K. Adjei, Uhuru Chief Technology Officer said that the app, “refresher” seeks to close the preparation gap that has long hindered student success in Liberia.
According to her, every year, thousands of Liberian students write the WASSCE and Mock Exams, assessments that determine whether they can advance to higher education, secure scholarships, or access better career opportunities. Yet, despite their intelligence and determination, many fail not because they are unprepared mentally, but because they lack the necessary tools and resources.
Speaking Wednesday, October 15, 2025, she alleged that for decades, schools and students have grappled with limited access to past exam questions, forcing students to rely on incomplete or outdated materials, shortages of Ministry of Education-approved textbooks, especially in rural areas, high costs of private tutoring, which remain out of reach for many families and exam anxiety, fueled by insufficient practice with real exam formats.
According to her, the situation has led to low pass rates, lost opportunities, and dissatisfaction among teachers, parents, and students.
“Refresher is more than just an app, it is a comprehensive digital learning companion, tailored to Liberia’s education context. By combining past papers, quizzes, textbooks, and exam simulation tools into one mobile platform, Refresher empowers students to study smarter, not harder,” Adjei added.
The app’s main features, according to Uhuru Chief Technology Officer, include MOE-approved textbooks, interactive quizzes with immediate feedback, answer-sheet shading practice, past WASSCE & Mock Exam Questions in subjects like math, English, science, and social studies, which guarantee focused and effective preparation, and user-friendly design.
According to Uhuru Tech Solution CEO Foldestine Paye, high school students represent the lifeline of Liberia’s educational system. “They are the ones directly facing WASSCE and Mock Exams, high-stakes assessments that shape their future. By supporting them with Refresher, we are giving them more than an app; we are giving them hope, confidence, and the chance to succeed,” he revealed,” he disclosed.
With the correct resources, high school students can significantly improve their exam scores, lower their anxiety levels, and open doors to further education and fulfilling careers, according to CEO Paye. High school students in Liberia face some of the most difficult obstacles in the country’s educational system, but they also offer the greatest opportunities, he said.
He clarified that although students are the main focus of the software, instructors, parents, and schools can also benefit from it.
For students, the focus includes access to extensive learning materials at any time and from any location; better exam preparation and progress tracking; for teachers, a digital teaching tool that eliminates the need to photocopy and locate previous papers; an efficient method of reinforcing classroom learning; and for parents, an affordable substitute for pricey tutoring, along with the assurance that their children are learning from curriculum-aligned materials.
“By bridging the gaps, the app supports the broader ecosystem of education, from classroom instruction to at-home revision,” stated the CEO of Uhuru Tech Solution.
He argued that the refresher app launch is a component of Uhuru Tech Solution’s goal to use technology to revolutionize Liberia’s educational system, not just the introduction of a new software. He claimed that by exposing students to digital learning resources, the business is cultivating a mindset that views technology as a tool for empowerment as well as enjoyment.
He said the official launch event, which will take place on October 23, 2025, at STARZ University Auditorium in Monrovia, will bring together students, parents, educators, legislators, and partners for a live display of Refresher and conversations about Liberia’s educational future.
He said that the event will feature keynote speakers from the education sector, live app demonstrations, student testimonials, and opportunities for schools to register for early access.
