Previous inconclusive studies on education policy in Liberia have identified various gaps in the sector such as the exclusion of stakeholders, inadequate resource allocation, unreliable data, low political will and capacity, insufficient technical knowledge, deficiencies in monitoring and…

The theoretical framework is relying on the Delone and McLean’s technological success model which is usually used when conducting technological studies.
