This Other Type Of Education

“Mention some famous Cameroonian artistes and footballers, and the connection is immediately made with an illiteracy or school dropouts. This shouldn’t be! Elsewhere in the world, great sports people and artistes are people who went to school. Education and talent development can be combined, and the person still succeeds in both,” stresses Dr Bishop Fon Joshua Ghogomu. The President and Founder of United Crusade Team For Jesus Christ (UNITEJC) Worldwide. Who has been in the gospel ministry for almost 30 years now. Apart from being a theologian, Dr Ghogomu is holder of a PhD in Social Sciences. Thus, his love for analysing social, economic, political... issues of the day on his Facebook page.

HAJ Bilingual Academy, Simbock, Yaounde provides quality education following Cameroon’s national curriculum, while also offering specialised skills in football, film-making, agriculture, cycling and music. The academy has set up a studio to produce its students. 
 “HBA fosters the King Davids of tomorrow. Our school merges talent and education because academics alone does not suffice. Schooling is an asset, but should not become a liability. Alongside education are several talents that can be harnessed. Government stresses the competence-based approach to learning, which is good and vital,” says Dr Joshua.
