The population of Limbe has expressed
concerns over the high tuition fees that students are expected to pay for
training at the newly constructed Advanced Vocational Training Centre. This was
on Tuesday June 21, 2016 when the Minister of Employment and Vocational
Training, ZachariePerevet visited the school to officially open its doors for
admissions to begin.
During
the event that took place on the school campus at Bonadikombo on the outskirts
of Limbe, the Technical Adviser No 1 in the Ministry of Employment and
Vocational Training, Comfort Fomede who did the technical presentation of the
school disclosed that it was constructed and equipped at the sum of fcfa 21
billion.
Of
this amount, she noted, the sum of fcfa 17 billion came from the Republic of
South Korea. The government of Cameroon, for its part contributed the rest in
the form of tax exemptions, land for construction and other support.
The
school is expected to train Cameroonians of both sexes in different trades such
as motor mechanics, electronics, wiring, welding, hotel and tourism management
amongst others.
Candidates
for admission are expected to be holders of CAP or PROBATOIRE or GCE O/L and
Lower Sixth attestations in the relevant disciplines. Upon admission they will
spend about a year in the school before graduating in the different income
generating trades.
The
cost for training ranges from fcfa 450,000 to fcfa 500,000 per student per
year.
ZachariePerevet
said the training centre is part of president Biya’s dream of creating jobs for
youth and empowering them to be able to take Cameroon to emergence by the year
2035.
Commentators
at the event and those who later learnt of the fees cried foul that fcfa
500,000 is too much for the average Cameroonian. They suggested that the
government should subsidize the fees to also open the doors of the school to poor
Cameroons.
The
Secretary General to the Limbe City Council, Charles ArreyNkongho who
represented the Government Delegate said in his opening remarks that no matter
what happens,the training that will be offered should be able to provide daily
bread for the trainees upon graduation.
The
event was also witnessed by South West Governor, Bernard OkaliaBilai, Fako SDO
Zang III and a cross section of other dignitaries.
