RE: Creative Writing Contest Vol. 15 | Education: What do you think about the number of subjects and content of subjects students study in Cameroon?by @breeze.com
Good one sir. Looking at the Cameroonian system of education, real professionalism is done during post graduate studies. That’s the reason why at BSc level students are mostly given general knowledge on a particular direction. For example, geography students would be given the generalities that has to do with geography and a little bit of case studies with some sort of failed and successful solution. The technical section may look good to you because it is professional based. Take a look at commercial section and the accounting they do, it’s either German accounting or OHADA accounting.......would you have preferred they do Cameroon accounting?? Hell no cuz there’s nothing as such. General education (gramma sector) takes professionalism to the peak mostly after bachelors. When carrying out post graduate studies, you will see that it will be focused more on case studies and do not think the case studies most be of Cameroonian examples. Typical example are better off to use in training learners and field work or internships are done on the common and local problems around.
Brilliant presentation @acbaby . This is very awesome .I really appreciate you taking time to explain this .I am delighted .I also wish you to take a look from this angle. Do you think the time they take to get students' to the professionalism level is too long??
Considering that the world is changing at a faster rate and people need solutions to the numerous created problems.
I mean what is the use of education if you can not use it to solve immediate problems around you.
I know we follow the food steps of our colonial masters but i tell you that time had long gone. Most African countries like Nigeria and Ghana, have realised this and that explains why their economies are fast growing .
We are Africans , we need to think Africa, talk Africa not copying people at this age ...
What do you think??
