MINFOPRA visits ENAM to Supervise re- opening of Schools amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic.

In accordance with the recent instructions of the Head of States, H.E Paul Biya and the Prime Minister head of government, Joseph Dion Ngute, pertaining to the re-opening of schools for students of final year classes and some public institutions, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, the Minister of the Public Service and Administrative Reform, Joseph LE visited the National School of Administration and Magistracy( ENAM) this morning.

After taking rounds through all the different classes, he noted exceptionally that, the administration and students of ENAM have responded  promptly to the instructions of the president and the head of government following the barrier measures  edicted by the government and the WHO in the fight against the deadly Covid-19 pandemic. These measures which include amongst others, respecting social distances, the obligatory wearing of face mask, placement of water points for the required handwashing exercise, the usage of hand sanitizers have been well applied.

Apart from these, which constituted the main objective of his visit, Minister LE also took sight of the infrastructural plan of the  building that would host the Common law section of ENAM.

It is worth noting that, this is not an official re- opening of the School of Administration and Magistracy but a strategic re-opening  to ensure the continuity of the first term which was already launched last December but unfortunately had to be halted in March 2020 when Covid- 19 hit Cameroon. As a follow up, the Prime Minister, head of government edicted 13 measures to restrict movements and other activities liable to propagate the spread of the virus, amongst which schools were shut down since then till date.

3 months after the shut down, the new instructions of the head of government demanding the  re- opening of schools in Cameroon  amidst the Covid- 19 pandemic remains  very remarkable given that,  It indicates that despite the growing numbers of cases of Covid-19 in Cameroon, education remains a priority but it must be pursued following the scrupulous  respect of the barrier measures put in place to combat the spread of the virus.
