The 2015/2016 school year
kick-started in Donga Mantung with no incident recorded. Reports from the five Sub
Divisions indicated that the exercise was hitch-free. When this reporter visited
PHS Nkambe, GTHS Nkambe and GSS Binshua, and GBS Nkambe, PS Nkambe and CS
Nkambe we witnessed a beehive of activities that was noticed. While some
students were busy copying time tables, some were already receiving lectures.

At GTHS Nkambe, Njoh Essombe
told us that about 444 students attended the morning assemble and that all the
teachers were present but added that the common problem in Nkambe is that
students are always reluctant to come to school on the first day. He said the
majority of the students were those in form one. He decried the fact that
parents don’t always like to buy textbooks for the students. Harping on the
staff strength of GTHS Nkambe, Njoh Essombe said that there are 50 trained
teachers in the establishment and a score of PTA teachers which make them
prepared for the year. “We have qualified teachers and I think the parents
should continue to have confidence in us”, he continued. He emphasized that in
term of trades and specialties, after GTHS Bamenda, Nkambe is second. According
to the principal, there are 13 trades in the second cycle and 12 in the first
cycle. For example, GTHS Nkambe offers three major trades that are found only
in two or three schools around the country. These trades include public works, topography
and Bureau d’etude (BE) which implies that GTHS Nkambe is the window to Donga
Mantung.

At PHS Nkambe, Madame
Wanyu Belinda said that back to school activities started yesterday on a very
sound note. She said the school administration took time to sensitize the
students on academic and security issues. Given the PHS is a boarding school; the
administrative staff took time to examine and cross-checked all the belongings
of students to make sure that no undesirable item is brought to school. She also
added that the students started their lessons as early as 7 am today morning. She
also emphasized that since PHS has been producing excellent results it was necessary
for them to begin well given that all that begins well ends well. Following the
Moderator’s scholarship, Madame Belinda says the school has recorded a
geometric increase in the intake of students this year. The scholarship she
said has been given to the first 25 students who get into forms one and lower
sixth class.
The Principal of GSS Binshua, Mupmbaah Harrison told our reporters that all is set for the school year to begin. He emphasized on the fact that the turn-out was quite impressive and encouraging. However, dark clouds hover at GHS Binka given that the out-gone Principal has not yet carried out the official handing over. The school vice principles were seen busy over reorganizing time-tables while some students were spotted playing around the campus. Notwithstanding, it is hoped that before mid week, GHS Binka will be on motion.
