New textbooks for Lower, Upper Sixth.
New textbooks for Lower, Upper Sixth.
The National Council for the approval of text books and didactic materials met in its 18th session last Monday March 9 to evaluate books to be used in high schools beginning next academic year.
Opening the session, the Minister of Secondary Education Professor Nalova Lyonga called on all those tasked with evaluating the books submitted to be diligent and work in all transparency in order to select the best books that will be effectively used for the education of young Cameroonian.
“We have adopted a policy of one book so that most of the parents will be able to buy the book, to enable all the students in one class to have the book so that it shouldn’t occur that a student fails because they did not have the book,” the Minister of Secondary Education, Professor Nalova Lyonga, said.
“However, when we say one book, it doesn’t stop the child from using books that are good for his or her level. We always say that the teachers should ask them to read some very good books, but when it comes to exams, the material should come from one book, she added. She stressed those in charge of the commission are the most “noble and honest”, trusting that by the end of the week, they must have done a perfect job. She also warmed no bribery will be tolerated in the course of the process.
In total, the Council has been working on 54 books for the Lower and Upper Sixth classes and were expected to make the final selection last weekend.
According to the Permanent Secretary of the National Book Commission, Professor Marcellin Vounda, the commission that worked the whole week would take into consideration the contents of the textbook presented as well as their scientific aptitude. The commission would also be looking at the pedagogic approach of the textbooks as well as the quality of language which would be evaluated on 50, Professor Vounda said. He stressed that textbooks would not only be retained for their prices but it would be a combination of all these aspects that would guide the judgment of the council to make their selection.
In the French sub system of education, 114 textbooks have been submitted for evaluation for the class of première.
