Gov’t piles back-to-school strategies.

No: 445

The press conference by five government ministers assuring Cameroonians of measures to guarantee effective schools resumption in the Anglophone regions could not be enough. That is why government is multiplying strategies to attain its goal. The latest is the Open schools campaign, said to be initiated by Territorial Administration Minister, Paul Atanga Nji.

The minister appeared on August 30, carrying an endorser, on it, written “OpenSchoolsNow.”

This strategy which has made rounds on social media, also features Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses.

It is said to be jusy another way to reecho calls for children to return to school come September 2.

This is coming after a series of measures taken by elites in the crisis ravaged Anglopone regions to campaign for back-to-school.

Critics of the minister’s photo campaign say the multiplication of strategies is a waste of time and resources that would have been used to resolve the crisis through dialogue.

To them, the minister’s campaign is a non-event as they say thousands of those children are in bushes because of the imbroglio.

Reacting to calls for children to go to school Dr Nick Ngwanyam, an educationist, proposed an acid test to government campaigners.

Speaking to Equinoxe TV, Ngwanyam urged them to go to the restive regions without armoured cars and then take their children out of the Francophone zones to attend schools in Anglophone zones. That, he said would be a true test for the much-talked-about security measures, he said.
