teachers of history and economics have made the balance sheet and evaluated during the fifty years of a course ISTAG Yaounde.
Servant framework for this reflection on the theme "University Cameroon: Dynamics, ruptures and continuities of a plural reality", the Higher Institute of Applied Technology and Management (ISTAG), partner of the University of Yaounde II soa, thus sacrificing the academic requirement of the module "Conference" current in the BMD system. In fact, through this module, students and teachers define all the contours of knowledge acquired throughout their learning.
This conference has made it possible to learn more about the work of the historian Achille Bella recently argued before a jury in Yaounde and I have focused on the evolution of the university in Cameroon. And according to Philippe Blaise Essomba, head of the department of history at the Faculty of Arts, Letters and Human Sciences, Yaounde I, the director of research Achilles Bella, to better understand this development, "the young researcher is back up the 19th century. A period during which the university itself in the western world as an unavoidable reality for knowledge management and by extension as a key driver for development of a state. "
Barely a year, noted historian Achille Bella," the Cameroon in 1961 was s assert as a sovereign state. And the creation of a university was just one element of our sovereignty. "Thus, with the help of the French Foundation, a political institution designed to accompany the young African states belonging to French backyard access to their self-phased, Cameroon will create an academic institution. Despite the fact it existed to Cameroon, most of its educational programs were under the control of France through the foundation mentioned above. This leads to say that Bella Achilles' just after independence, the academic institution was biologically Cameroon, but institutionally, it was French. "
This situation will gradually change from 1961 to 1980, since the settlers were to withdraw the new African States to leave the chair themselves the destiny of their citizens. Then comes the period of major reforms -1990 and 2000 - from which this institution is vera change gradually with the establishment of other academic centers in several regions outside Yaounde. Especially in Douala, Buea, Ngaoundere, etc.. The Achilles traveaux Bella also enabled him to study this academic institution as a social reality. In fact, the University of Man-made being otherwise involved in its history-, we find out teachers, several other trades is an integral part of its staff. The researcher
include in the wake of vehicle drivers, librarians, etc.. This social aspect of the institution inversitaire allowed economist Yves Andre Abessolo, Head of International Department of Economics at the University of Yaounde II, to assess the evolution of the missions assigned to it since its inception in 1961 until today. Indeed, after independence "the university was to train the elite in charge of replacing the administrator colon" going to underline it. But the lack of constraint has not attracted the interest of professionalizing teaching in a development perspective. According to Yves Abessolo "had long decried the general education within the university in Cameroon."
This had The corollary to submit most of the graduates of this University Cameroonian unemployed partly dependent on the climate of economic crisis in which it operates today. For an early solution it took "the birth of private institutes of higher education, to see whether lessons will professionalize in order to meet the market demand for employment in distortion, as there have been since the 1990s new forms of employment. " These constraints to the economic crisis have thus forced the university to change the paradigm of Cameroon. Instead of simply forming only the elite University mission is now to produce concrete and useful knowledge adapted to the real needs of the labor market.
