Fears teachers strike might stall Varsity
games

In the traditional New Year wishes ceremony
of the higher education family to minister Jacque Fame Ndongo, which took place
last Friday at the University of Yaoundé 1 campus, the minister of higher
education seized the opportunity to plead for an effective resumption of
classes in the two Anglophone regions of the country.
In
his address to the university community, he called on the students of the two
state universities and other higher institutions in the north west and the
south west regions who for several months now have not resumed classes
following the strike actions of the teachers and lawyers of the English sub
systems to do well to start school as soon as possible in order not to risk
losing an entire academic year.
He
reminded them of the several measures instituted by the government to redress
the prevailing situation and security guaranties put in place in the two
regions to enable students and teachers go to school.
The
presence of both vice chancellors of the Universities of Buea and Bamenda
equally provided a veritable opportunity for them to fine-tune strategies to
influence students and teachers resume classes.
These
strategies which the minister could not reveal to the press but assured the
public will influence the students go to school, are adding to an earlier
decision taken by the university community last week to transfer the university
games to the university of Bamenda.
Though
a prompt decision, it is intended to serve as an incentive to both Anglophone
regions to start up preparatory activities to host and participate in the games
as this it is hoped, may stimulate the resumption of classes and consequently
other activities which have remained stagnant now for several weeks.
Both
vice chancellors from the universities of buea and bamenda expressed the wish
to see the return to normalcy of all university activities in their respective
institutions.
The
minister equally handed over to them copies of the English version of the harmonized business law of Africa OHADA.
