EXCERPTS FROM THE STATEMENT
BY THE CAMEROON HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION TO MARK THE 6TH INTERNATIONAL DAY OF
EDUCATION, JANUARY 24, 2024
Theme: Learning for lasting peace
" The
Commission is pleased that the Assembly of the African Union, meeting in Addis
Ababa (Ethiopia) on 18-19 February 2023 for its 36th Ordinary Session, has
chosen Education as the African Union theme of the Year 2024 ".
" The
Commission further notes that within the family, parents must effectively
supervise their children at home so that they consolidate the knowledge and
behaviour they will acquire once they enter the school environment and maintain
their habits of obedience, respect, diligence and discipline in order to
achieve good results at school and thrive in adult life ".
" The
Commission commends the signing, by the President of the Republic, of Decree
No. 2023/223 of 27 April 2023 to lay down conditions governing the exercise of
some powers devolved by the State upon Regions in the area of secondary
education ".
" The
Commission commends the significant increase of 61.4 billion CFA francs in the
2024 budget of the Ministry of Secondary Education, which now amounts to 539.2
billion CFA francs, to meet, inter alia, the legitimate demands of teachers in
this ministry ".
" The
Commission is still deeply concerned about the persistence of rants,
ill-tempered attitudes, and verbal attacks among certain teachers despite the
many positive measures taken to respond to them, and by the subsequent delays
observed in the coverage of curricula, resulting in significant learning losses
in some government schools ".
" The
Commission recommends that the Government implement structural reforms in the
field of education in order to improve the general level of students and to
promote the implementation of sustainable peace through education ".
