Episode Synopsis

The English-everywhere agenda in education in a highly multilingual Cameroon: Towards a recipe for disaster?

Cameroon is one of the most multilingual countries in the world. But the history of languages-in-education in Cameroon is marked by the very absence of Cameroonian languages from the mainstream education system.
During this seminar Dr. Seraphin Kamdem(SOAS) discussed the recent developments of the English-everywhere agenda in the school education system and critically presented some of the pedagogic and operational challenges faced by this contentious agenda.
Chair: Dr Carli Coetzee
