TAC must be a watchdog for Anglo-Saxon education

Executive members of the Teachers Association of Cameroon, TAC, have resolved to remain the watchdog of the Anglo-Saxon educational system and guard against predators.

The executive members of the teachers association took the resolution during an enlarged executive meeting, EEM, in Buea recently. The meeting was presided over by TAC President, Paul Ninjoh.

The TAC officials also resolved to take the message of TAC to all corners of the Northwest and Southwest Regions and the entire nation, so that the association should be in full float before its February 2015 convention.

“TAC, therefore, has as primordial responsibility to safeguard Anglo-Saxon education in Cameroon.”

According to members of the association, the trade union will oversee the sanctity and purity of the Anglophone sub-system of education as defined by the 1998 Law of Educational Orientation signed by the President of the Republic.

TAC, they agreed, will go all the way to encourage Anglophone learners and parents to become interested in technical education and that the association will continue to advocate for aspects of Anglo-Saxon technical education of international standards to be included in the package offered to Anglophone Cameroonians.

“The post occupied by teacher representatives in the EEC of the GCE Board will, henceforth, be elective for a three-year mandate renewable once, so that the privileged elect should know that they are answerable to their mother association, which will renew their mandates or choose new members to replace them.

“This association will have an elected candidate to the post of Registrar of the Cameroon GCE Board, when the mandate of the incumbent expires.

“TAC has always defended all teachers of Basic, Secondary, Vocational, Sports and Physical Education domains, so that all should feel free; come on board and articulate their vision for the holistic type of education TAC stands for.

“TAC, as a trade union, will always remain a watchdog of its supervisory Ministries and the institutions that hold sway in education, never in anyway or at any time, an underdog of any of these because it would lose its essence and vitality.”
