The education and training sector strategy for 2030 (ETSS2030) falls in line with the development
perspective defined by the Government of Cameroon, and comes in to support the 2020-2030 National
Development Strategy (NDS30), of which it is the branches at sectoral level. It is also aligned with the
country’s international commitments, notably the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Agenda
2063 of the African Union, educational needs of refugees and internally displaced persons, and
commitments of the 2022 UN Transforming Education Summit.
It stems from the 2013-2020 strategy prepared and implemented over the past decade which not only
paved the way for several advances, but also registered a mitigated balance sheet on some of its
objectives.
The renewal of the national development framework, the evolution of the economic context of the
post COVID-19 pandemic, the persistent crisis in the Far-North Region, the influx of refugees in the Far-
North and East, North and Adamawa Regions, the socio-political strive in the North-West and South-
West Regions, have implications on the performance and needs of the education system and led to
the resumption of discussions on the development objectives and strategies of the sector.
