Cameroon – Back To School In The South-West: Despite Police Presence At School Entrance, Classrooms Are Empty

Many parents remain worried and prefer to keep their children at home.

This is the observation made by our colleague Le Jour in her September 7, 2017 edition. Even with the presence of police officers at the entrance of schools, parents in Buea in the Southwest Region are afraid to send their children to school.

At the Bilingual Grammar School, not far from the Molyko stadium, where the newspaper went on 6 September, the two floors adjoining the administrative block of the school had empty classrooms. Yet two policemen were sitting at the school box with two guards. In the corridors of this establishment, our colleague learned that the principal Mbua Hannah is taken by the study of the recruitment files, while throughout the national territory, classes have indeed started.

A teacher who asked for anonymity said “the back to school is timid and the atmosphere calm, because parents are afraid that their children will suffer lightning and retaliation from those strikers who have become radicalized.“

This day reports our colleague, in the classes where the students could be found, the number was far from impressive. In the class of Première C, it was in the presence of about twenty students that the teacher of French Language gave his course. In the Troisième class, some forty students responded. In fact, it happens that in the city of Buea, “the social climate is far from having regained its serenity in the regional capital. 

The shadow of the supporters of radicalism and chaos still hangs over the city of the chariot of the gods “. Only students who have not yet returned to school are missing the remedial courses prescribed by the Ministers of Secondary Education and Basic Education.
