According
to Cameron Journal investigations, Regardless of
recent general outcry by Anglophone Cameroonians over government’s policy of
systematic eradication of the English language in the country and their second
fiddle treatment by Yaounde, the general organization of the 2015 edition of
Teachers’ Grade One Certificate examination, under the auspices of the Ministry
of Secondary Education, once again violated the rights of Anglophone
candidates.
Examination instructions to
Candidates and invigilators in the Anglophone zones of the country were all in
the French language to the detriment of Anglophone candidates most of whom know
very little French.
The preamble, for instance, of the
candidates’ answer sheets that required candidates’ general information and
other necessary information about the exam were all printed in French.
Some of the Teacher Students in
Bamenda who spoke to the Cameroon Journal on July 09, lamented that they could
not understand why in a bilingual country that is Cameroon, the French language
was being imposed on them when they did their studies entirely in the English
language. The students called on the powers in charge to normalize the
situation in the 2016 session of the examination.
