This book richly documents the battles fought by the Anglophone
community in Cameroon to safeguard the General Certificate of
Education (GCE), a symbol of their cherished colonial heritage from
Britain, from attempts by agents of the Ministry of National
Education to subvert it. These battles opposed a mobilised and
determined Anglophone civil society against numerous machinations
by successive Francophone-dominated governments to destroy their
much prided educational system in the name of 'national
integration'. When Southern Cameroonians re-united with La
Rpublique du Cameroun in 1961, they claimed that they were bringing
into the union 'a fine education system' from which their
Francophone compatriots could borrow. Instead, they found
themselves battling for decades to save their way of life. Central
to their concerns and survival as a community is an urgent need for
cultural recognition and representation, of which an educational
system free of corruption and trivialisation through politicisation
is a key component.
