Professionalization in MINESEC

Two new modern technical high schools with high-tech material have been inaugurated in Yaoundé and Maroua

On Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 December 2023, The Prime Minister, Head of Government, presided over the inauguration ceremonies of Government Bilingual Technical High Schools Nsam and Maroua.

Members of Government and top rank personalities of our country gathered around the Prime Minister, Head of Government, to celebrate secondary education move towards modernity and effective professionalization, through the inauguration of two modern schools in Yaounde and Maroua. The Prime Minister thanked the Islamic Development Bank for financing this important project aiming at improving and strengthening the quality and quantity of school infrastructure in Cameroon.

Government Bilingual Technical High School Nsam for example, which the Prime Minister considers ‘a significant achievement,’ has well-equipped workshops in civil engineering, electricity, clothing, building construction, woodwork and computing (stenotyping…) that will enable learners to acquire know-how in line with the demand on the job market. The school innovates with new specialities such as Stenotyping, Plastic Arts, Dry Cleaning, Bakery... As such, a speciality like Plastic Arts can be started in secondary school instead of university as it is the case nowadays.

With these two new schools the Ministry of Secondary Education is comforted in its aim of making students ready for employment or creation of enterprises once out of school. Benefitting from quality equipment in these schools, Cameroonian learners can upgrade their level to international standard.
