Sir, I beg to say that your lead is misleading. It does not capture the essence of the strike. "these Strikes ARE NOT intended TO INCREASE THE USE OF IN CAMEROON but for the following reasons:
The strikes are intended to denounce the dominance of Francophones in our Higher Institutions of learning, both staff and students:
Here are some of the demands.
1. Our children who pass the GCE with quality grades cannot enter professional schools of heir choice while those who perform poorly fill all the spaces.
2. Francophones outnumber Anglophones in the professional schools in Anglophone universities of Buea and Bamenda by a ratio of up to 90:10% in HTTTC Kumba, 90:10% in medical school in Buea, 80:20% in HTTTC Bamenda, whereas there are no Anglophones in these schools of Francophone universities.
3. Anglophones who apply to read medicine are usually sent to Francophone universities, where operating becomes a serious challenge, and since they can not cope they give up.
4. As a result of this policy of discrimination and marginalization, government does not train Anglophone Technical teachers and even the few Anglophones who are trained are sent to work in francophone areas.
5. Government continues to send Francophones who do not master the English language to teach in Anglophone schools. The teachers teach in broken English, thereby confusing the students. As a result many do not perform well in their final examinations.
6. The universities of Buea and Bamenda have been francophonised and admissions into key faculties have been taken to Yaoundé so that admission lists can be doctored.
7. Our children are compelled to toe write CAP and Baccalaureate in Technical schools, with a tradition of poorly translated questions and massive failures on their part qualifications into professional schools and the Universities. What a mockery to our certificates!
8. Our Children who graduate from university can not get jobs, they have to become bike riders and call-box operators and SIM card vendors.
9. Lay private and confessional schools are doing so much to educate our children, but receive little or no subvention from Government. Even Religious Studies is mocked as a requirement for admissions.
10. That the election and appointment of authorities of the two Anglo-Saxon universities of Bamenda and Buea should be in strict compliance of Anglo-Saxon norms.
11. The 1998 Law on the Orientation of Education in Cameroon provides for the creation of an Education Board, but we are asking for separate Boards which can address the needs of each subsystem.
Whereas these demands only touch the tip of the iceberg as they go right down to the levels of Basic Education, Mr. Reporter I would plead you make a rejoinder to your story for it sends the wrong signals to the world and only further complicates our case which is very genuine. I'd also advise, Sir, that you should do in-depth research before you file any report to any press organ, even the CRTV to which you belong.
