Government has launched this year’s session with limited seats needed in the 8 Higher Teachers Training Colleges in the Country leaving those willing to apply perplexed.
For the past years the Government has been launching competitive entrance Examination into the different Higher Teachers Training Colleges in the Country taking over 40 people per field but this time around the number has drop to 5.
Many people have been wondering why the sudden change.
Valorine Ngah is a student in a private School in Yaounde who wanted to write the exams but is scared looking at the number of seats available.
” I had my advanced level last year and I really wanted to write the Competitive entrance examination into the Higher Teachers Training College Bambili but I’m afraid I will not make it. Many people are applying and the seats are limited, I’m discouraged. I don’t know why the government decided to take few people now?
Nadege Ahone, another Student who was waiting for this competitive examination is also skeptical about the number of seats wanted this year.
” This will be the second time that I’m writing this examination, I didn’t pass when there were still many seats,I’m really confused if I should register or not. The number of candidates wanted this year is really small apart from me others are discouraged”
The decision for government to limit the number of seats this year is not to discourage young Cameroonians willing to contribute in training future leaders of tomorrow.
According to sources from the Ministry of Higher Education this decision taken is due to the prevailing situation in Cameroon that is the Corona Virus Pandemic which is affecting the Country’s economy.
In the other hand the Government has launched the competitive entrance examination to increase personnel in this field .
It is worth noting that the Examination launched this year is for the
– Higher Teachers Training College Yaounde, Bambili, Maroua, Bertoua, and the Higher Technical Teachers Training College Douala, Kumba,Ebolowa and Bambili.
