Plan to test Liberian schoolchildren for drugs blocked
October 17th, 2025
By Moses Kollie Garzeawu
Monrovia, Liberia, Africa
Liberia's Education Ministry has blocked controversial plans to introduce mandatory drug testing in all of the country's schools.
Speaking to local media, the interim head of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), Fitzgerald Biago, said school testing would help address the growing problem of drug abuse.
The announcement sparked a mixed response. Some thought it would help tackle the scourge of drugs, while others saw it as an invasion of privacy, or feared it would cost too much.
Last year, President Joseph Boakai declared drug and substance abuse a national emergency and a recent EU-backed report estimated that one in five young Liberians take drugs.
However, the Education Ministry said it was not aware of any plans to test students and added that such a decision needed to be based on concrete evidence and properly thought through.
Assistant minister in charge of students Sona Toure-Sesay told the BBC that this kind of plan required proper research. "Let's assume we are made aware of the proposed initiatives by the LDEA, it will require us to conduct research and review case studies from other countries where this has been successful," she said.
Toure-Sesay also noted that testing could affect students. "What happens to students who test positive? What are the social services in place for them? Some of them might be bullied even after returning, and it may affect their overall educational performances."
She added that a multi-sectoral committee on drug and substance abuse had been set up, headed by the Health Ministry. Along with strengthening health clubs in schools, she said that this would help to reduce the prevalence of drugs among students.
President Boakai dismissed the leadership of the LDEA in August this year, and recently appointed Biago, a former senior police officer, as interim head of the agency.

New Study: This Regional Accent Is Considered
the Most Trustworthy in the U.S.—And the
Results Will Really Surprise You!
By Jennifer Geddes
A person’s cadence counts for a lot.
Everyone knows first impressions are important—
and we don’t just make them based on sight. Beyond
a chic outfit and well-coiffed hair, how a person
sounds can also be a big factor when forming an
initial opinion. In fact, a recent analysis of more than a
dozen American accents conducted by BetUS Casino
found that some folks’ speech actually conveys more
honesty and reliability than others’.
At this point, you’re probably praying your own voice
sounds dependable, not shifty or shady, right? Try to
relax, and then read on to learn (nay, hear!) where
the most trustworthy accents are located.
How was the study conducted?
As with many studies today, internet data helped
determine which parts of the country sound the most
steadfast and true. BetUS Casino crafted the report,
which is current as of Aug. 15, 2025, by focusing on
how people feel about 14 different regional accents.
How did the company determine those feelings?
First, researchers looked at internet search terms like
“friendly (accent)” or “professional (accent).” Then,
to complete the rankings, they compiled data on the
rate of financial crimes per 10,000 people, plus the
number of lawyers and primary-care doctors in each
area.
Why doctors and lawyers, you may ask? Well, these
are professions that rely on trust—after all, you might
have to put your life in their hands! The more of these
professionals in an area, the more trustworthy the
accent. Once the study authors had the information
in hand, they weighted the data and ranked the
regions on a scale of 1–100.
Which regional accent is considered the most
trustworthy?
Now hear this: The regional accent that’s considered
to be the most trustworthy hails from Boston!
Yup, the fine citizens of Beantown scored 56.1, which
was enough to take top honors for sounding highly
dependable. Boston ranks so strongly thanks to
more than 23,300 searches related to how kind and
upstanding the accent sounds. The Massachusetts
capital and largest city in New England also sports
a low level of financial crime and is home to tens of
thousands of lawyers and doctors.
Boston shines in other ways too, underlining the trust
factor essential to its distinctive accent. For example,
one recent WalletHub report list Boston as the third
most caring city in the nation, while another names
Massachusetts as the best U.S. state to live in. And
the Bay State has excellent health care, with the
highest childhood vaccination rates, lowest infant
mortality and fewest premature avoidable deaths.
Want to sound just like a Bostonian? Start by
dropping some of your R’s, as in “pahk the cah” and
“wicked smaht.” Or listen to Ben Affleck turn on the
telltale accent in his Dunkin’ commercials. Other
famous Bostonians with perfect inflection include
Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg and Amy Poehler.

Tax rises and benefit cuts are on the horizon as
Reeves prepares the UK for a bad-news budget
The UK chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has made it clear
that taxes will go up, and more cuts to welfare spending
are on the horizon. The moves will be deeply unpopular
and controversial − but in an extraordinary press
conference ahead of the UK budget on November 26,
Reeves made it clear that she believes both will be
necessary.
In a highly unusual move, the chancellor used the press
conference to set out her priorities for balancing the
books while growing the economy. Notably, she did not
mention the pledge in Labour's manifesto not to raise
taxes on working people or increase national insurance,
VAT or income tax.
Instead, she said her focus was on lowering the burden
of excessive government borrowing and debt, improving
public services and tackling the cost of living.
Reeves gave particular importance to sticking with her
"iron-clad" fiscal rules. These, she argued, were essential
for showing she is being responsible with the nation's
finances and preventing a further rise in the cost of
borrowing (the interest the government pays on its debt).
At more than £100 billion per year, this already makes up
10% of all government spending. The government's
spending watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility
(OBR), projects the total to rise to £111 billion by the next
financial year.
She also emphasised the importance of measures to
boost UK productivity. Productivity forecasts are
expected to be downgraded by the OBR, heaping yet
more pressure on the chancellor's budget choices.
Reeves questioned whether the forecast would
accurately predict the future − but has accepted that she
will have to work within the OBR's constraints in this
year's budget.
The chancellor is right that there is a pressing need to
boost productivity. But it is by no means certain that
planned investment in things like housing, nuclear power
and a third runway at Heathrow will yield big gains, at
least in the near term.
At the same time, she made it clear that to meet her
budget target there will need to be cuts to public
spending. Some cuts will come from more "efficiency"
savings by government departments (that perennial
option that all chancellors reach for).
But they will also come from tackling the UK's rapidly
rising welfare budget, focusing on the large number of
young people who are not in education, employment or
training but depend on state benefits (so-called "Neets").
Any cuts to the welfare budget, as well as a failure to abolish the two-child benefit limit (although she is under
pressure from colleagues to bite the bullet and axe it), will
cause dismay within the parliamentary Labour party as
well as many party activists.
As ever, the budget choices will be political as well as
economic. Both the Conservatives and Reform UK will
accuse Labour of breaking its manifesto promises. They
will also claim Labour is undermining any chance of
growth by raising taxes by a larger amount than any UK
government has done in the last 50 years.
At the same time, it will become even more difficult for
Labour to manage its large but fractious parliamentary
majority. Earlier this year, backbenchers forced the
government to restore the winter fuel payment for some
pensioners and abandon plans to cut personal
independence payments for disabled claimants.
Local government elections, as well as elections to the
Scottish and Welsh parliaments, are looming next May.
Reeves risks further alienating Labour's grassroot
supporters and pushing them towards smaller left-wing
parties such as the Greens. They already seem to be
pulling ahead of Labour among younger voters.
The stakes could not be higher. A bad result could even
lead to questions about the future of both the chancellor
and the prime minister Keir Starmer.
Finally, the chancellor's goal to cut the cost of living for
working people does not seem particularly ambitious. Her
suggested approach involves cutting energy costs by
investing more in electricity generation, and reducing the
cost of food by changing the business rates system to
help small businesses.
Even if effective, these changes will take some time to
work through and may not be enough to convince voters
that Labour is on their side − particularly if inflation is not
brought under control.
Reeves' appeal to the public to back her long-term
approach to sorting out the British economy may be
admirable. But the political risks to her personally − and
Labour more broadly − remain considerable.

The text contains several instances of passive voice
constructions. Examine this sentence: "Productivity
forecasts are expected to be downgraded by the OBR,
heaping yet more pressure on the chancellor's budget
choices." This sentence uses passive voice with an
infinitive construction. Understanding the transformation
between active and passive voice, particularly with
complex verb structures, is crucial for advanced writing.
Which of the following correctly identifies the grammatical
structure and appropriate active voice transformation?
