Dang Akuh Dominic, new GCE Board Registrar

A Prime Ministerial order of January 31, 2018 has appointed Dang Akuh Dominic as the new registrar of the Cameroon General Certificate of Education Board (CGCEB) to replace Humphrey Ekema Monono, who has beenmarshalling the examination outfit since 2006. The decree also appointed Etienne Roger Minkoulou as Director of the l’Office du Baccalauréat du Cameroun (OBC).

                Prior to the Prime Ministerial order, a Presidential decree sent Prof. Peter Abety packing as another seasoned Educationist Professor Ivo Leke Tambo was desinated as GCE Board Chair. Prior to his appointment Prof. Leke Tambo was the Secretary of State in the Ministry of Secondary Education. He also occupied the same post in the Ministry of Basic Education.

                The new Registrar takes over a GCE Board plagued by numerous challenges among them is the non-payment of GCE Examiners who marked the 2017 session of the examination. He will have to quell their rage be they carry out their threat to boycott the 2018 marking session of the exams.

                Born in Muyuka in the South West Region in 1959, Dang Dominic did his primary and secondary education in the South West before pursuing a bilingual degree at the University of Yaounde I. Since 1982, Dang Dominic has been working at the Ministry of Secondary Education where he has occupied several positions such as Chief of Service for Examinations and Evaluations and National Inspector of Pedagogy in charge of English.

                Before his appointment as Registrar of the GCE Board, he was Inspector Coordinator-General in charge of Bilingualism in the Ministry of Secondary Education since 2013. Dang Dominic says he was also privileged to study in the University of London and was Chief of Service for Examinations when the GCE Board was created and relocated from London to Cameroon.

                The New Registrar of the GCE Board says he is happy to have been part of the pioneer candidates of the Cameroon GCE in 1977 and 41 years after, he is at the helm of the exams body after being a marker, organiser and examiner of GCE Examinations.
