World Teachers' Day: In Cameroon, the profession faces daily challenges - Lebledparle

On October 5th, Cameroon celebrates World Teachers' Day, this year commemorating the 60th anniversary of the 1966 ILO/UNESCO Recommendation on the condition of teachers. The day highlights ongoing challenges such as difficult working conditions, lack of materials, insufficient staff, and financial expectations. Teachers, especially in higher education, face issues related to unpaid allowances and resources but continue their educational duties despite these hardships. A global shortage of 44 million teachers, with sub-Saharan Africa being heavily affected, is reported by UNESCO.
