Back To School: Wum Ready to make the difference.


The population of Wum in Menchum Division, have started keeping their various  school premises clean, ahead of the new school year that begins on Monday September 5 2022.

The population, both old and young came out as one man to clean both public and private institutions especially those that have been abandoned and whose campus have been invaded by  wild grass.


Prior to the back to school, preparations have reached fever pitch. The Divisional Officer of Wum Subdivision, Ngoe Godfrey Nembi, brought together Headteachers, Principals, education stakeholders and traditional authorities to brainstorm on two major challenges affecting the smooth running of schools within Wum Subdivision; Insecurity and absenteeism of teachers.



From the various interventions of school heads and the Inspectorate of Basic Education of Wum subdivision, last academic year was better that the previous. Even if the schools are not functioning at 100%, at least 70% of the schools opened their doors last year. The Divisional Officer used the meeting to plead with the Elite of Wum to join forces so that we all can continue spreading this back to school message. Education is the only commodity that a parent can give to a child so lets all not relent our efforts of educating our children cause when you educate a child you are enriching the family" the D.O said.


Some lay private, missions and government schools have been tidied up and are set for an effective back to school 2022/2023 academic year.

NORTH WEST PUBLIC INDEPENDENT CONCILIATOR

The PIC while addressing local masses in Wum Council area, Mr. Tamfu Fai, appealed to the government to create divisional representations.   In the Anglo-Saxon tradition, it is customary to set up independent authorities responsible for settling disputes between users and regional and council administration. In line with this logic, Law No.2019/24 of 24 December 2019 to institute the General Code of Regional and Local Authorities provides for an independent authority called the Public Independent Conciliator (PIC) in the North-West and South-West Regions. The office holder is by no means a legal authority or a judge, as the competences and powers entrusted to him are not of a legal nature. The PIC is responsible, inter alia, for amicably settling disputes between users and the regional and council administration, defending and protecting rights and freedoms with regard to the relationship between citizens and the region or the councils thereof, conducting any investigation on the f...

FRENCH PRESIDENT, EMMANUEL MACRON, DISAVOWS DECENTRALIZATION AS SOLUTION TO ANGLOPHONE CONFLICT; OPTS FOR REGIONALISM.

  Image an elephant walked into the room. It's definitely something you would notice. It's also something people would describe in many different ways. Some might see it as a monster or a threat, while others (like The Colbert Factor) might think it's the greatest thing ever. It would ultimately mean something different to everyone, and that would influence the way each person understood it. The visit of the French President was the elephant walking into the Cameroon room.   Emmanuel Macron and Paul Biya in Yaoundé. July 25-27 2022 Last week's visit by recently re-elected French President, Emmanuel Macron, was too substantial to ignore. To most ordinary Cameroonians, his remarks after the close to two hours high-level talks with long-serving President Paul Biya, were great. To others, (especially those in government), they were a threat to what government had given a pat on its back for a fast-track of the decentralization process with a Special Status for the North Wes...
