President Paul Biya creates ENS Bertoua and Faculty of Medicine Garoua

The President of the Republic signed two separate decrees on Monday, 8th January 2018 creating the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Garoua and the Higher Teacher Training College of Bertoua.

According to the decrees the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Garoua and the Higher Teacher Training College of Bertoua are all institutions placed under the auspices of the University of Ngaoundere.

The creation of the two institutions may just signal the beginning of a journey to a complete university. It has been observed that institutions are first created and when they grow to a certain level, they are transformed to state universities with other faculties and schools added.

The two new institutions that have won the applause of the inhabitants of the respective regions have been created as part on ongoing efforts to propel Cameroon to an emergent economy by 2035 as spelt out in the Growth and Employment Strategy Document (GESD).

According to the GESD, Cameroon’s Higher Education plan is to create institutions in the main hubs of the country the will train a huge number of engineers, medical doctors, teachers and others to meet the target objectives.

It is expected the set goals will convey Cameroon to a newly industrialized country, which is a phase when primary and secondary imports will substituted with the manufacturing industry that will account for more than 23 per cent of the GDP.

To achieve this, there is need for more infrastructure and social services to match the increasing numbers of young people, especially in the education and health sectors to ensure that Cameroonian engineers generate wealth through their inventiveness while the quality health care is made accessible to everyone in all parts of the country. This will in a long term result in a homogenous development of the literacy and economic levels of different parts of the county.

    Good evening Sir, am Tibungne Melcis Bojong, it’s a very beautiful thing to make education reachable to all cameroonian. I just want to plead with d Head of State to please try and eradicate the issue of age limit for most entrance examinations or better still, increase d age limit. It usually hinders many youths from pursuing their dreams. This is bcus some of us especially me really wish to enter into ENS Bertoua but bcus of 1 yr, I can’t. It goes also to many other exams. Will be very pleased if my/our request is granted. Thanks again.
