Education ministers shut down 262 illegal schools in Cameroon.
Education ministers shut down 262 illegal schools in Cameroon.
Ahead of the start of the 2019/2020 academic year Monday, September 2, inn Cameroon, education officials have engaged in a belated house cleaning.
Two hundred and sixty-two illegal schools have been closed, the Ministries of Basic Education and Secondary Education announced in a joint statement. Two hundred of these ‘clandestine’ schools are under nursery and primary education and 62 colleges, according to the statement issued recently .
Among the reasons given for the mass closures are “the lack of extension of unauthorized cycles, lack of location of sites, but also, dangerous premises and unhealthiness.”
The Littoral region is the most affected with more than 118 learning institutions shut down.
Enrollment for the upcoming school year has already begun in some schools, all of which are required to have a declaration of establishment and opening, in order to function.
Each year, when the beginning of school year approaches, the ministries of Basic Education and Secondary Education publish the list of schools barred from functioning.
Unfortunately, the shutdowns are not done early enough to avoid cases of registration into clandestine schools.
Even when this is done on time, some still manage to function, NGOs like Afric Avenir lament, blaming this situation on corruption in the education sector.
