The 2016 General Certificate of Education, GCE, has kicked off in the South West Region without major hitches reported. The Registrar of the Cameroon GCE Board, Humphrey Ekema Monono, had last weekend issued a stern warning against any attempts at fraud. Cameroon Tribune visited some accommodation centres in Buea and Kumba, respectively headquarters of Fako and Meme Divisions.

According to the Principal of Bilingual Grammar School, Molyko in Buea, Lois Ebenye Ikome, who is head of the centre, some students were confused when they arrived in the morning because they did not understand the arrangement of the different classes allocated for the examinations. The Principal said the innovation this year is the manner the centre name has been joined with the candidate’s number. Last year, the information was separated by slashes. She said that the answer booklets have also changed.

One of the invigilators, Agbor Chantal Dengwa Mbuagbo, told the press that with the presence of security officers, the students wrote the first paper in serenity. She said in her class, which was the largest, there was a candidate who came 15 minutes late, while one external candidate was absent. In Government Technical High School Buea, the Principal, Mafany Paul Mbessa, said the Technical GCE started a week ago and at the moment, they were almost done writing the Probatoire Technique and Brevet Technique. He said they started with the Baccalaureat and today, May 31, 2016, candidates will begin the CAP Industrial and CAP Commercial until June 6, 2016.

According to the Divisional Delegate for Secondary Education for Meme, Akwo John Eyoh, who was on the field visiting the examination centres, everything started hitch-free in the division. Though some few absences were recorded, the number of candidates present was about 98 per cent of those who registered. He underscored that the officials supervising the examinations were present in the centres. Akwo John Eyoh added that all centres were manned by police men or gendarmes.  

Some 182,416 candidates all over the country are writing the various Cameroon GCE Board examinations, up from 1680,000 in 2015. Over 138,000 candidates are sitting the GCE Ordinary Level, while about 46,000 candidates are writing Advanced Level examinations. The examinations will take about a month to complete in more than 900 accommodation centres, with 20 GCE Ordinary Level and 20 GCE Advanced Level subjects on offer.
