Relative to neighboring nations, Cameroonians are very well educated with a literacy rate of over 60%. The education calendar of Cameroon is also very stable with little to no interruptions throughout the academic year.
A growing threat to the continued excellence of Cameroon education is the rapid increase in what has been described as brain drain.
The best of graduates from Cameroonian high schools and universities end up abroad in more affluent western nations in search of greener pastures.
This trend that started in the mid 1990s is far from slowing down.
This has caused many to question the future of Cameroon's education
