The national commission for the evaluation
of foreign certificates has met in Yaoundé to study the authenticity of some
300 foreign certificates of some Cameroonians who studied abroad and who wish
to be integrated into the country’s educational standard. The commission chaired
by the minister of higher education, chancellor of the academic orders Jacque
Fame Ndongo, proceeded in a rigorous examination of the certificates sent by
Cameroonians in the Diaspora.
Of
all the certificates examined, about 20 of them were rejected because according
to the examination team, the files were inconsistent and not accurate. It was
therefore risky for them to validate the files since the authenticity of the
certificates was doubted.
As
it has been the tradition, the commission since its creation meets four times
every year to examine and validate certificates obtained from foreign
institutions.
The
meeting in Yaoundé last week was the second for this academic year.
Cameroonians studying abroad who wish to be integrated in to the country’s
civil service system or request equivalence of their certificates obtained from
foreign institutions of learning for other purposes usually forward their files
through the ministry of higher education for examination.
According
to the minister of higher education, the number of fake files rejected in this
session is not as many as has been the case in the past years. This therefore
implies that the efforts of the commission to stop the fraudulent acquisition
of foreign certificates are proving to be more and more efficient.
