Cameroon’s Minister of Secondary Education, Nalova Lyonga, has announced a forthcoming initiative to identify and address teachers who have left their positions and subsequently immigrated to Canada. This follows a biometric and physical census of teaching staff conducted in April-May 2026. The minister is calling on teachers identified as absent or having deserted their posts to come forward. Details regarding the specific consequences for those identified remain unclear, but the move signals a tightening of oversight regarding teacher migration. The initiative aims to address staffing shortages within the Cameroonian education system potentially exacerbated by emigration. This action suggests the government is actively monitoring and responding to the outflow of qualified professionals. Further details regarding the process and potential repercussions are expected to be released following the census completion.
