As is the case with most Cameroonian children leaving home at very young age to get a good education, at age seven (7), Biya was sent to a Catholic mission in Ndem, some 30 miles from his home village, to acquire an education.
Seemingly a gifted student, Biya's tutor (a French national) got him a sit in the then prestigious Akono Junior Seminaries.
Through rigorous hard work and studies Biya made his way to the famous Lycee Leclerc in Yaounde, the Capital of Cameroon and then to the prestigious Sorbonne in France.

Paul Biya is world renowned for his diplomatic tactics and conflict resolutions.
