MINESEC boss satisfied with the hitch-free conduct of the Common Entrance examinations following a tour in three (3) examinations centres in Yaounde, on 17 May 2022. 

The Minister of Secondary Education, in the company of the Secretary of State in the Ministry of Secondary Education (MINESEC) in charge of teacher training (SEESEN), Boniface Bayaola, and the Secretary-General, Prof Fabien Nkot, visited three examinations centres in the Mfoundi Division to ascertain the smooth conduct of the Common Entrance Examinations organised by the Department of Examinations and Certification (DECC) of the Ministry of Secondary Education.

Despite the heavy downpour the capital city Yaounde woke up to on Tuesday, 17 May 2022, candidates and examiners were present in all the three examination centres visited by the ministerial delegation in College La Retraite, Government Girl’s Technical College (CETIF) Yaounde and Lycée Genéral Leclerc. 

In each of these examination centres, the Minister and her entourage sought to know how smooth examinations were going on, paying special attention to the provisions made for impaired candidates, compliance with examination standards, as well as to the respect for both barriers measures and Clean School requirements. The chiefs of the examination centres confirmed that no candidate was slammed a sanction for coming late, owing to the bad weather over the capital city.

CETIF Yaounde is accommodating 3 candidates with disabilities out of the 345 candidates present. Meanwhile in College La Retraite only 6 candidates were recorded absent out of the 437 candidates registered. At Lycée Général Leclerc, 749 candidates were present out of the 777 registered.
