Looming Disequilibrium In School Map!

Education is a fundamental human right and since the start of the 2017-2018 academic year, parents are increasingly combing the nooks and crannies of better secured and stable regions to ascertain that their children enjoy this irrefutable right in all tranquillity. While the rush is noticeable in almost all the regions of the country, that coming from students who hitherto schooled in the North West and South West Regions, is more intense. This is even disturbing!
In the heat of the ghost schools and towns that haunted the two English-speaking regions last academic year, greatly compromising effective teaching and learning and excellence in end-of-course exams for those who wrote, many are parents who have decided to relive the experience no more. Since they never wanted to take chances, most of them who can, have been in a near mad rush for admission in schools in other parts of the country. Yaounde and Douala are proving to be the most targeted cities to lodge the educationally-threatened youngsters from the North West and South West Regions.  In most reputed secondary and high schools in these cities, though classrooms are almost at near explosion with students, the demand for almost unavailable space keeps skyrocketing. The situation in some schools is almost like in a jungle where only the strongest survives.
The education exodus from the two English-speaking regions to others is obvious. Responsible parenting warrants that a child gets the best of education. This is only possible in a calm environment void of threats and disturbances of all sort. Obviously, no parent worth the name, would sit and watch the child lag behind in education especially for politically-motivated claims they never took part in drafting and for which they may never benefit.
Inasmuch as the rush for space in other regions saves children who would have normally schooled in the North West and South West from education impoverishment, there is looming disequilibrium in the country’s school map. Deserting the two regions and flooding others, as is the case now, changes the initial picture of the country’s education record. Cameroon is a country unlike others in the continent. Its diverse educational systems- purely Anglo-Saxon, mixed and purely French distinguishes the country from oth...
