NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A WILLING HEART No. 0006/11-05/RDPF-KUMZSE/ADN/2025
SUBJECT: THE IMPERATIVE AND RELATIVE REFORM FOR A CITIZEN-FRIENDLY AND RESPONSIBLE CAMEROONIANS EDUCATION SYSTEM
TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF CAMEROON, TO THE MINISTER OF UNIVERSITY (HIGHER) EDUCATION, SECONDARY EDUCATION, AND BASIC EDUCATION, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
Perfection is not of this world, but the constant pursuit of self-improvement is a civic duty. The current definition of the names of our educational institutions poses, in our opinion, a problem for more judicious content and content. First of all, the qualifying adjective SUPERIOR or the noun SUPERIOR, with regard to University Education is pejorative, superior is said of a person, who commands others by virtue of a hierarchy, a person who directs a religious community, in other words superior (lat. Superior) who is located above as opposed to inferior. Higher floor, greater than, which reaches a higher degree. Higher temperature compared to normal or which surpasses others in merit, strength, rank; which is a derogatory nuance; because, INFERIOR, (E), noun, person who occupies a subordinate position, who has a lower social rank, inferior, adjective (lat. Inferior), which is located lower, located below, below as opposed to superior.
Teaching is the action, the way of teaching, of acquiring knowledge, the methods used by each school and university branch of education and training, primary, secondary, and university, private and public.
The foundation of a house or even a building is superior to its elevation by walls or even its ceiling by a roof! Education is thus formed from a base, a primary foundation, a secondary elevation, and its universality, tertiary. It is therefore more judicious to recognize that Education is:
- Primary, Basic;
- Secondary, General & Technical Education;
- Tertiary, Universality, University.
This reform must bring regional balance to the creation of branch schools within our state universities, for example:
- The École Polytechnique,
- The École Militaire Inter-Armes,
- The École Normale, - the École de Médecine,
- Etc.
Decentralization requires that it will only be effective if each region, with a population of more than three (3) to five (5) million, now has a comprehensive technical platform for the education of its children without any discrimination; it is at this price that Living Together & Eating Together would be more unanimously acceptable to all if this reform took into account all of these components and parameters.
Private and public education must work together to avoid unfair competition andand to offer learners equal opportunities for high-quality education. This pooling of resources would preserve private investment through public funding in private schools and universities. The transformation of certain University Institutes of Technology into Polytechnic Schools, etc., is a reform for the sustainability of our education system, which still suffers from significant shortcomings and inadequate infrastructure.
We must learn from the mistakes of others to do better.
The redefinition of our fundamentals for an education modeled on Artificial and Multiple Intelligences (AMI) challenges us in more ways than one.
This will certainly honor and oblige us!
It is up to each of us to read it and provide a response, which we hope will be commensurate with our efforts.
May God bless you/us!
May God bless President Papa Paul Biya!
May God bless Cameroon and Africa! Amen!!!
