Re: [cameroon_politics] COLONIZATION: All Heads of Departments (HODs ) of the University of Buea (UB) and Bamenda (UBa) said NO to harmonization. The Minister of Higher Education

I remember I once said in an official meeting that Cameroon is practicing a Cameroonian version of the LMD, and I waS TOLD TO SHUT UP. 

In the Cameroon tertiary education system we have one nonesense, one abberation, called M1 and M2. Because it is still done in France.

If Cameroon can still maintain what they call ''probatoire'', which has no place in the anglosaxon system, I can understand why our universities think we can issue a diploma called M1, in the BMD system.

Another abberation is to allow students, even today, do a Masters in FOUR YEARS!!!! I have students who registered in M in 2012, today 2016 they have not yet graduated.

What do we want to harmonize in Cameroon? What is harmonization?
- lifting the francophone system up to the anglophone system?? or
- lifting the anglophone system down to the francophone system???

Objet : [cameroon_politics] COLONIZATION: All Heads of Departments (HODs ) of the University of Buea (UB) and Bamenda (UBa) said NO to harmonization. The Minister of Higher Education

 
In a late afternoon move on Friday June, 3rd 2016, all Heads of Departments (HODs ) of the University of Buea (UB) and Bamenda (UBa) said NO to harmonization. The Minister of Higher Education, Prof Jacques Fame Ndongo looked visibly shocked that lecturers from these two universities stood their grounds in Yaoundé and spoke with one voice. They told the Minister who had used the LMD as an excuse to call for harmonization that the Anglophone system remains the best and if there is a need for any harmonization, then the Francophone universities in the country must go the Anglophone way.
God is still saying something.

The Cameroun government has been planning for years to harmonize academic programmes in the Cameroons state universities. Such a move received fierce…

Fred Awomah Achondoh
Fred Awomah Achondoh Well if harmonization means making university curriculum similar to international standards then its a good move. International standards all move towards the English system why is our case different. But I think the government just want to further frustrate the young generation. Nigerian universities are not full yet. We can still go the Nigerian direction. Yes or oui?

Tabe Lovlyn Tabe
Tabe Lovlyn Tabe Harmony begins with one language. As long as we have two languages, let us us have our separate systems. Anglophones MUST say NO to marginalisation. Anglophones keep suffering because many cannot speak french upon graduation. We are obliged to speak french meanwhile they francophones are not obliged to speak English. This is just the beginning.

Thanks Mark, feed us with more information. I am still hungry
Ntemfac Ofege
Ntemfac Ofege This is not harmonization, this is pure concolonisation: the colonisation of a colony by a colony. French Cameroun has NO RIGHT to annex Southern British Cameroons let alone attempting to force feed its corrupt sub culture on us. That is not happening and this is the last straw. This fellow, Fame Ndongo. All he thinks is tribalism.
