FOREWORD

Nursery and Primary Education is the foundation of sustainable learning. It is on this basis that

Cameroon has ratifi ed several conventions related to compulsory education. These conventions

range from the Jomtien Education Framework of 1990, the Salamanca Statement of 1994, the

Dakar Framework of 2000 to the Incheon Declaration of 2015 precisely the fourth Sustainable

Development Goal (SDG4).

Besides these international conventions, the Constitution of the Republic of Cameroon

guarantees the right of the child to education and further highlights it in the1998 Law to Lay

Down Guidelines for Education. In view of becoming an emergent nation by the year 2035,

the government developed the Growth and Employment Strategy Paper (GESP) in 2009 to

provide major orientations to all sectors of the society. The document tasked ministries in

charge of education to develop the human capital required to attain this vision. The 2013-2020

Education and Training Sector Strategy Paper (ETSSP) clearly defi nes the missions of each

sub-sector in the educational system.

This curriculum is designed to guide the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes in

the learners and to set the foundation for learning with emphasis on Science, Technology,

Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The curriculum therefore responds to one of the key

missions assigned to the Ministry of Basic Education (MINEDUB).

This new pedagogic tool replaces the one of 1987 for the nursery and that of 2000 for the primary.

My fervent wish is that the entire education community explores and makes maximum use of

this document in order to enable the nursery and primary school learners attain knowledge-

based, skill-based and attitude-based profi ciencies upon graduation. In this way, they will be

able to cope with the diff erent educational and/or professional options available to them at

the end of the primary school cycle and embrace lifelong learning, no matter the post-primary

path they choose.

PREFACE

This curriculum has taken into consideration the fact that learners have unique personalities, talents,

attitudes, and interests that they bring into the classroom. They also have a variety of experiences

which the teacher must build on, in order to eff ect and aff ect the teaching – learning process. The

learners’ uniqueness and variety of experiences are primordial in the development of any school

curriculum. Analyses of curricula that have been successful in many countries throughout the world

suggest that appropriate curriculum design should:

• involve parents in their children’s education

• develop an atmosphere based on sound human relationships

• establish a balance between child-directed and teacher-directed activities

• specify objectives and needs of individual learners

• emphasise on pragmatic and play-based learning in pre-primary and primary education

Basic Education moulds learners and encourages them to be dynamic and creative. Hence, the 1996

Constitution of the Republic of Cameroon clearly spells out the State’s engagement in guaranteeing

the child’s right to education. Cameroon also adheres to the Human Rights Declaration and related

legal instruments. Every child is endowed with learning potentials which need to be awakened and

guided by appropriate instruction and instructional materials. Consequently, the Ministry of Basic

Education (MINEDUB) has undertaken a massive reform of the Nursery and the Primary school

curricula, an activity that aims at ensuring quality basic education for all Cameroonian children.

This will therefore serve as an important reference and working document for teachers and the entire

education community.

In order to render the curriculum standard and to guarantee quality assurance, the following phases

and procedures were followed:

• writing and validating the Cameroon National Core Skills Framework

• carrying out needs analysis

• writing and validating the Curriculum Framework

• training of 105 writers by consultants

• writing the fi rst draft

• reading and evaluating the fi rst draft by the scientifi c committee

• integrating the recommendations and suggestions of the scientifi c committee

• experimenting the curriculum in all the ten regions of Cameroon

• integrating the recommendations and suggestions from the fi eld

• re-evaluating the curriculum by the scientifi c committee

• integrating the recommendations and suggestions from the scientifi c committee

• reviewing the curriculum by the consultants and the scientifi c committee

• fi nalising and validating the curriculum

The inclusive nature of this document therefore makes it user-friendly, thus, the classroom teachers

should be able to claim ownership of it and be totally accountable for its implementation.

It is also worth noting that priority was given to national expertise by working with two renowned

consultants representing the language of instruction of the two subsystems.This was done in strict

respect of the specifi cities of the two subsystems of education in conformity with the provisions of

the 1998 Law to Lay Down Guidelines for Education in Cameroon. Following the recommendations

of the Curriculum Framework, the two subsystems have the same domains, weighting, core skills

and broad-based competences, and activities for the nursery cycle and subjects for the primary cycle.

English Subsystem - Level I: Class 1 & Class 2 5

However, each subsystem has maintained its specifi cities with regards to learning strategies/methods,

teaching-learning materials, and assessment strategies and tools.

As a matter of fact, this is a hands-on document aimed at rendering the job of the classroom practitioner

lighter and more enjoyable. The annual time allocation has been calculated and activities for the

Nursery school as well as subjects for the Primary school cycle identifi ed and built under appropriate

domains. The competences from the National Core Skills Framework to be developed by each subject

area have also been clearly stated. Besides, the activities and/or subjects are technically distributed to

represent the weighting that was hitherto given to the various domains. The major teaching-learning

approach: the Project Based Learning which is supported by the Integrated-Theme Learning and the

Cooperative Learning strategies has been explained. Furthermore, the importance of assessment is

reiterated in order to encourage the classroom teacher to constantly exploit and maximise its use. A

glossary is provided to situate the user on the contextual use of some key concepts.

Summarily, the ADDIE Model guided the entire process of the curriculum development as follows:

A for the Analysis phase, explains the situational analysis (teachers, learners, supervisors, education

community)

D for the Design phase, focuses on the structure of teaching-learning and assessment of learning

outcomes

D for the Development phase, is where the writing and re-writing of all the planned activities in

the design phase are carried out

I for the Implementation phase, covers the period of the experimentation. This period off ers

feedback for revision

E for the Evaluation phase, is where plans for the evaluation of the entire curriculum are made as

it is progressively being used

It is worthy to mention here that globalisation has severely impacted contemporary instructional

processes. Increasingly, our society is rocked by various challenges which include economic

recession, advancing technologies, changing family relationships, violence in communities, exclusion,

intolerance and identity crisis. These issues constitute a serious hurdle to pedagogues who must derive

appropriate strategies to handle them. Educators and parents are, therefore, called upon to embrace

this important change and to work in harmony. Learners are expected to acquire necessary life skills

such as autonomy, honesty, adaptability to technological changes, respect for self, respect for others

and respect for institutions, as well as the 21st century skills: collaboration, teamwork, creativity,

problem solving and critical thinking for eff ective lifelong learning.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

In 1990, the World Conference on Education For All (EFA) which held in Jomtien, Thailand, made

a clarion call for universal quality primary education. During this conference, emphasis was laid

on access, equity and quality primary education for all. Apart from declaring that “Education is

the fundamental right for all people, women and men of all ages throughout the world”, the EFA

conference also underscored that

…active and participatory approaches are particularly valuable in assuring learning acquisition and

allowing learners to reach their fullest potentials. It is, therefore, necessary to defi ne acceptable levels

of learning acquisition for educational programmes and to improve and apply systems of assessing

learning achievement.

A decade after Jomtien, in the year 2000, the World Education Forum held in Dakar, Senegal where

the Dakar Framework for Action focused, among others, on “HIV/AIDS, early childhood education,

school health, education of girls and women, adult literacy and education in situations of crisis and

emergency”. To further expand on the education agenda of Jomtien, the Dakar meeting, after careful

evaluation, extended the scope of educational imperatives to include:

• Expanding and improving comprehensive early childhood care and education, especially for

the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children

• Ensuring that by 2015, all children, particularly girls, children in diffi cult circumstances

and those belonging to ethnic minorities, have access to and complete free and compulsory

primary education of good quality

• Ensuring that the learning needs of all young people and adults are met through equitable

access to appropriate learning and life-skills programmes

• Achieving a 50 per cent improvement in levels of adult literacy by 2015, especially for women,

and equitable access to basic and continuing education for all adults

• Eliminating gender disparities in primary and secondary education by 2005 and achieving

gender equality in education by 2015, with a focus on ensuring girls’ full and equal access to

and achievement in basic education of good quality

• Improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all so that

recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy,

numeracy and essential life skills.

There was renewed zeal to move the agenda of education forward as key stakeholders to the course of

education at the World Education Forum 2015 in Incheon, Korea declared that:

building on the legacy of Jomtien and Dakar, this Incheon Declaration is a historic commitment

by all of us to transform lives through a new vision for education, with bold and innovative

actions, to reach our ambitious goal by 2030. Our vision is to transform lives through

education, recognizing the important role of education as a main driver of development and in

achieving the other proposed SDGs. We commit with a sense of urgency to a single, renewed

education agenda that is holistic, ambitious and aspirational, leaving no one behind.

In order to meet up with these education milestones, Cameroon had to carry out major actions which

included the writing of syllabuses on HIV/AIDS, on Human Rights and on ICTs. Furthermore, the

revision of curricula to align with the provisions of the Incheon World Education Forum became im-

perative.

Page 12: Cameroon Primary School Curriculum · this document in order to enable the nursery and primary school learners attain knowledge-based, skill-based and attitude-based profi ciencies

Cameroon Primary School Curriculum

English Subsystem - Level I: Class 1 & Class 212

The vision of the new curriculum falls in line with the SDG4 which seeks to ensure inclusive and

equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning for all with focus on access, equity and

inclusion, quality and learning outcomes within a lifelong learning approach. This is in line with the

vision of the Education Forum which states that by 2030, all girls and boys should be able to complete

free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and eff ective learning

outcomes. Access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education should

be granted so that children are ready for primary education. By the same token, all men and women

should have aff ordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university;

and the number of youths and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational

skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship should be substantially increased.

In addition, the vision of the Continental Education Strategy for Africa (CESA 2016-2025), reorienting

“Africa’s education and training systems to meet knowledge, competencies, skills, innovation

and creativity required to nurture African core values and promote sustainable development at the

national, sub-regional and continental levels” has carefully been addressed in this curriculum. The

present curricular reform, taking its cue from these instruments, is an attempt to respond to current

trends so as to provide an education, from early childhood, that would address the needs of each

child through the development of their mind-set. This is in corroboration with the law to Lay Down

Guidelines for Education (1998) which states in Article 4 that the general aim of education is to

ensure the intellectual, physical, civic and moral development of the child as well as its economic,

socio-cultural, political and moral integration in the society.

Nonetheless, faced with the problem of quality and the phasing out of the Cameroon Primary School

Syllabuses for both subsystems, which date as far back as 2000, the building up of a new curriculum

became a necessity.

The concerns raised by the International, Continental and National instruments reviewed above, were

addressed in the National Core Skills Framework: communication in the two offi cial languages, (English and French), and the use of at least one national language; use of basic notions in Mathematics, Science and Technology; practice of social and citizenship values; demonstration of the spirit of autonomy, a sense of initiative, creativity and entrepreneurship; use of basic Information and Communication Technology concepts and tools; pratice of lifelong learning; and the practice of Physical, Sports and Artistic activities. These National Core Skills are hinged on the Broad-Based Competences namely: intellectual, methodological, personal and interpersonal, and communication competences. The National Core Skills Framework constitutes the springboard of this curriculum.

The curriculum is presented in three parts. Part One gives an overview of the document, Part Two defi nes the domains and the subjects, while Part Three provides the contents of the syllabus.

PART ONE

OVERVIEW

This section presents the learner’s profi le at the end of primary school in Cameroon, the domains and

subjects, the competences to be developed, the integrated learning themes, the pedagogical approaches,

assessment strategies, weighting and the time allocated to the diff erent subjects.

The Learner’s Profi le

The Ministry of Basic Education intends to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes of learners

under its authority. At the end of the primary school cycle, the learner is expected to have acquired

national core skills in view of stepping into secondary school or engaging in other learning contexts

or activities. Furthermore, the learner must equally have acquired key values in the fi ve domains. On

a similar note, they should show interest in learning all the subjects.

The Cameroon Education System outlines seven National Core Skills which should be acquired by the

end of both nursery and primary cycles of education. They include:

1. Communication in the two offi cial languages (English and French) and the use of at least

one national language

Communication in English, in French and in at least one National Language implies the ability to

use the four language skills of these languages. The learner should be able to listen, communicate

orally, and be able to read and to write. The language competence is a prerequisite for access to

other core skills.

2. Use of basic notions in Mathematics, Science and Technology

Introducing notions of Mathematics, Science, and Technology involves the acquisition of

knowledge, skills and attitudes in these subjet areas and the ability to use them to address

challenges in real life situations.

3. Practice of Social and Citizenship Values (morality, good governance and budgetary

transparency)

This involves inculcating patriotic, moral, citizenship and values of good governance in the

learners of both cycles so as to prepare them for a harmonious insertion into the society.

4. Demonstration of the Spirit of Autonomy, a Sense of Initiative, Creativity, and

Entrepreneurship

Developing this competence in the learner calls for the assembling of multidisciplinary

knowledge and skills in view of developing the learners’ social integration skills, creativity as

well as managerial and entrepreneurial potentials.

5. Use of Basic Information and Communication Technology Concepts and Tools

Generally, this core skill requires the use of information and communication technology tools

in school and in society. It is related to healthy, safe and responsible use of various ICT devices

for learning and for leisure activities. In addition to this, it develops logical and critical thinking,

automated management of information (analysing, summarizing, and assessing), and apt

communication skills.

Cameroon Primary School Curriculum

English Subsystem - Level I: Class 1 & Class 214

6. Practice of Lifelong Learning

This implies that the learner will demonstrate the desire and will to undertake and continue

education, organize self, especially through effi cient time and information management, individually or in groups.

7. Practice of Physical, Sports and Artistic Activities

This competence provides learners with a platform to develop their physical, psycho-motor, artistic, personal and interpersonal skills as well as improve their well-being. It enables them to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes required for their participation in several physical, psycho-motor, sports and leisure activities in order to strengthen social harmony and ensure a healthy lifestyle.

Broad-based CompetencesThe Cameroon National Core Skills Framework comprises four broad-based competences as follows:1. Intellectual competences

Intellectual Competences include:

• exploiting information• solving problems• acquiring logical thinking and a sense of observation • exercising critical judgement• practising creative and innovative thinking

2. Methodological competence

Methodological competences include: • giving oneself effi cient working methods• exploiting information and communication technologies • organizing one’s learning • arousing the desire to learn each subject

3. Personal and interpersonal competences

Personal and interpersonal competences enable the learner to: • develop his/her personality• acquire abilities in view of his/her socio-cultural integration and individual fulfi lment

• cooperate with others

4. Communication competences

Communication competences enable the learner to:

• communicate in an appropriate manner in the two offi cial languages • communicate in at least one national language

Domains, Weighting, Competences and Subjects

In Table 1 that follows, the domains and their weightings are provided. The competences from the National Core Skills Document that each domain develops are indicated and the subjects that are needed to develop these competences are equally listed.

The syllabuses are presented in three levels: Level 1 (class 1 and 2), Level 2 (class 3 and 4) and Level 3 (class 5 and 6). In all, ten subjects have been identifi ed from the fi ve domains namely: English Language, Mathematics, Science and Technology, French, Social Studies, Vocational Studies, Arts, Physical Education and Sports, National Languages and Cultures, and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Details about these subject areas (expected learning outcomes, content areas, suggested methods and didactic materials) are laid out in Part Three.

Integrated Learning Themes (ILTs)

In order to make learning relevant to daily life, eight integrated learning themes have been identifi ed to develop skills necessary in the harmonious integration of learners in their environment. The ILT for the primary school cycle are presented in table 2.

The use of integrated learning themes represents the fundamentals of project-based learning. They

facilitate the learning-teaching process and make the essence of PBL come to light. The process

entails integrating themes that have been developed in order to facilitate teaching-learning in the

Primary School. These themes will constitute the basis of contextualizing the concepts of the subjects.

Integrated learning themes are the foundation on which all the activities for a defi ned period of time

within the school year are expected to take place. This can be done for some weeks, months or beyond

and has a direct impact on project-based learning. An integrated approach unites all subjects and

gives opportunities to the learners to learn more through variant contents. Children will consequently

develop a deeper understanding of contents in their local contexts.

The approach allows learners to explore, gather, process, refi ne and present information. It also

allows learners to engage in purposeful and relevant learning. Learners are expected to see the

interconnectedness within curriculum areas. It is based on skill development around a particular theme

that is relevant to the pupils in the class.

Pedagogic approaches

Teaching methods are special procedures through which educational goals are attained. The Cameroon

education system has experienced pedagogic evolutions from the Objective-based Approach (OBA)

through the Inferential Thinking Approach, that was referred to as “New Pedagogic Approach” to the

Competence-based Approach (CBA) or the Behavioural Objective-based Approach which is in use

today. The CBA facilitates the development of skills through the practice of Project Based Learning,

Cooperative Learning and Integrated Theme Learning. The underlying philosophy of the CBA requires

that learning should be based on the potentials of the learner. The learner should be responsible for

his/her own learning. Focus is on learning and not on teaching. It is important for the classroom

teachers to diligently determine the characteristics of their learners. Lesson preparation should always

implicitly or overtly provide for gender equity, for inclusiveness and for multiple intelligences.

The pedagogic practices that make the learners more responsible for their own learning include:

Project-Based Learning (PBL)

Project-based learning is a pragmatic approach to learning in which learners create their own knowledge

through learning activities built around intellectual inquiry and a high degree of engagement with

meaningful tasks. Projects are designed to allow learners with a variety of diff erent learning styles to

demonstrate their acquired knowledge, skills and attitudes. Therefore, a well-designed Project-Based

Learning activity is one which addresses diff erent learning styles and does not assume that all learners

Page 17: Cameroon Primary School Curriculum · this document in order to enable the nursery and primary school learners attain knowledge-based, skill-based and attitude-based profi ciencies

Cameroon Primary School Curriculum

English Subsystem - Level I: Class 1 & Class 2 17

can demonstrate their knowledge, skills and attitudes in a single or standard way. It is an eff ective way

of connecting classroom activities to the real world through a process of integrating the four broad-

based competences in the learner’s life. PBL is an “investigative” or “discovery” type of learning.

It is a research-based method of learning, wherein, together with the learners, questions are asked,

investigated and solutions proposed and presented.

Commitment to project-based learning enables the learner to solve many problems and makes the

teaching-learning process more skill-based. In practical terms, PBL can be implemented in the

following ways:

1. Identify a problem: This has to be done together with the learners in order to give them ownership

of their learning and of the fi nal product which will be the project. Once a problem is identifi ed, a

project is designed to bring about a solution to the said problem.

2. Identify all the parts of a project namely: Beginning, progression and a culminating event. That

is, you should master how to start off with the project because as mentioned earlier, it should be a

process that involves learning across the curriculum or better still, across all subjects. There is a

progression part in a project in Project-Based Learning in order to show that the project is not an

end in itself but a means to an end. This implies that the subjects are taught in order to enable the

learner either solve a problem or produce something concrete.

3. Brainstorm with colleagues about the progression and set aside a “Project Book” where ideas

are jotted down. Points about the progress of the project should equally be jotted (monitoring

progress). This enables the actors in the project to see what is working and what is not working

and reformulate questions and bring out more concrete solutions. This will also lead or aid in the

culmination event where the entire process will be explained.

4. Discuss with learners. Learners are skilfully guided both in class and at the project site towards the

realisation of the project. The learner’s place should not be taken up by the teacher; they should be

guided to complete or carry out tasks as individuals and as groups as the case may be. The tasks

should not be carried out for them: leading questions and clues are vital in helping them carry out

their tasks.

5. Assign a role to every learner. No learner should feel isolated or abandoned nor left behind.

Assigning roles empowers them and builds the spirit of togetherness, initiative, creativity and

responsibility in the learner.

6. Discuss the progress of the project with individual learners, groups and with the whole class.

Discussing the progress of the project entails participation, improving on aspects that are lacking

and making the project participants (learners) feel anxious to complete the task/solve the problem.

7. Respect all the three parts of the project, that is, introduction (identifying a problem and proposing

a solution that is a project), progression (carrying out the project) and the culmination event

(presenting and evaluating the project).

NB: The culmination event is paramount and should not be left out. It must be a presentation by

the learners while the teacher evaluates the success of the project with the help of the points in the

“Project exercise/note book”. Project-based learning helps the teacher to assess learners as many

times as the need arises.

Benefi ts of Project-based Learning

Project-based learning:

• promotes lifelong learning skills

• enhances logical thinking

• promotes team spirit and hard work

• promotes entrepreneurial skills

• promotes bonding and interaction

• creates responsible attitudes in learners

• helps learners to manage their resources

• motivates learners

• builds confi dence in learners

• renders learning practical

• situates learning in a real life situation

• makes learners inquisitive/curious

• develops problem-solving skills in learners

• improves on learners communication skills

• makes the task of assessment and evaluation for the teacher easier and more enjoyable

Cooperative Learning (CL)

Cooperative learning is a specifi c kind of collaborative learning. In cooperative learning, pupils work

together in small teams on a structured activity. They are individually accountable for their work, and

for the work of the group as a whole. The Integrated Theme Learning and Cooperative Learning are

supporting strategies of the PBL.

The strategy consists of putting learners into small, mixed-ability learning teams. They are responsible

not only for learning the contents in question, but also for helping their teammates learn. The most

amazing thing here is that the learning process becomes a web, wherein you do not succeed alone.

The learners must be made to understand that if one person fails, the entire team/boat sinks, and if one

person succeeds, the success aff ects everyone else. Within cooperative learning teams, pupils discuss

the material to be learned with one another, and support each other to understand it, and encourage

and help one another to have a clear understanding of their participation. Teams diff er from groups

because cooperative learning is constituted of teams whereby:

• goals are shared

• information is circulated

• roles are assigned

• materials are managed

• teammates depend on one another to complete tasks successfully

• pupils learn to respect each other’s contributions and opinions

• pupils engage in “cognitive collaboration.” They must organize their thoughts to explain

ideas to teammates

• pupils have fun while learning

• pupils’ social nature is used to their advantage

• social, leadership, communication, decision making, problem solving, and confl ict resolution

skills are developed

Assessment

Assessment is the process of passing judgements on learners’ knowledge, skills and attitudes with

the sole aim of making decisions about their education. It is an integral part of the teaching-learning

process in the Primary School and constitutes part of the curriculum. Assessment is a means of

objectively informing parents, guardians and policy makers on learners’ progress in school.

Diverse tools should be used to collect information about the learner in order to moderate and increase

learners’ chances of learning from one another. Nevertheless, learners must be assessed fairly and at

the same time taking into consideration that each learner has their learning styles. Consequently, all

the learners may not always be at the same level of attaining the expected learner outcome.

Assessment in primary schools in Cameroon can take three forms (oral, written, practical). There are

many ways through which information can be gathered about learner’s progress. This can be done

through: observation checklists; learner’s self-assessment; daily practical assignments; samples of

learner’s work; learner’s willingness to participate and contribute in projects/conferencing; oral and

written quizzes; portfolios; willingness to be involved in class and school activities.

It is worth stating that formative and summative assessment should take into consideration knowledge,

skills and attitudes as indicated on the “Expected Learning Outcomes” column of each subject.

Types of Assessment

Diagnostic Assessment: This type of assessment verifi es what the learner already knows and it is

used to improve on the learner’s achievement. Hence, each time we have to embark on a learning and

teaching experience, we must always try to fi nd out learners’ level of competence and/or knowledge,

skills and attitudes about the new material. This helps the teacher develop strategies and activities that

can be used to facilitate learning.

Formative Assessment: This type of assessment keeps the learners in permanent interaction with

the curriculum during the teaching-learning process. It is designed to keep track of learners’ learning

achievements. Their response to this type of interaction equally helps the curriculum user (the teacher)

to provide feedback to both the learner and the parents.

Summative Assessment: It is carried out periodically to show the level of attainment of expected

learning outcomes at the end of the term, year, level or cycle. It is a more judgmental kind of assessment.

Whatever the case, summative assessment must not always be standardized tests. There is need for a

variation in the use of assessment instruments.

Plan of Action for the Teaching-Learning Cycle

The following steps will enable the teacher to put his/her plan into action:

1. Identify learning outcomes in function of the national core skills and as stated in the integrated

monthly schemes of work.

2. Based on the integrated learning theme of the month, identify a project and plan the activities that

will lead to its realization.

3. The diff erent activities are planned chronologically (entry behaviour, simple to complex) in relation

to the contents and contextualized through the ILT.

4. Monitor the realization of the project and ensure that all learners carry out their tasks.

5. Organize culmination events, that is, presentation of projects and assessment every last Thursday

and Friday of the four weeks. Depending on the level, the presentations and assessment should

cover three forms: oral, written and practice. A checklist should be prepared depending on the

stated learning outcomes in order to record learners’ progress in the class broadsheet (this will

constitute a gradual building of the information for pupils’ report cards which are fi lled every

term).

6. Carry out remediation activities where necessary.

7. Do an auto-evaluation of the process. Note should be taken that this is a cyclical process within

each teacher’s community of practice (the school).

Figure 2 illustrates the cyclical teaching and learning process.

PART TWO

DEFINITION OF DOMAINS AND THEIRRELATED CARRIER SUBJECTS

Part two presents the fi ve domains and their related carrier subjects. Each of these subjects is briefl y

defi ned while highlighting the national core skills that each develops, followed by a visual presentation

of the subject, its components, terminal learning outcomes, and suggested evaluation criteria.

Domain 1: Basic KnowledgeThis domain is fundamental to the development of all other domains. It nurtures and advances literacy

and numeracy skills which are the pillars for a strong foundation in education and vital for living in the

21st century. As the name implies, basic knowledge is intended to create the base and a solid foundation

for all other learning. There is no gainsaying that the ability to read and to work with numbers are

prerequisites for the success of any educational system. Many studies carried out in Cameroon on

learning achievements in the past couple of years show that there is a dwindling eff ect in literacy and

numeracy to the extent that children who leave primary schools in Cameroon today can barely read

and/or write, talk less of manipulating numbers and fi gures confi dently. It is in this light that, it became

necessary to give more learning-teaching time to a domain that will properly develop learners’ literacy

and numeracy skills and hence enhance their performance in other learning domains. Consequently,

a sixty percent learning-teaching time has been assigned to this domain. The domain is going to be

powered by English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Science and Technology and Français.

English Language

English Language is one of the two offi cial languages in Cameroon. It is the language of instruction for

the English Subsystem of Education. A literature component has been added to this subject in level two

and level three. While English Language enables learners to express themselves orally and in writing,

Literature enhances the reading culture in them. The teaching of English will target the development

of the listening, speaking, reading and writing skills with emphasis on grammar, vocabulary and

pronunciation. Like all languages, English is rule-governed, thus the systematic functional teaching

of grammar is strongly recommended. This will enable learners use the language eff ectively.

This subject has been developed from domains that were derived from the following national core

skills:

• Communication in the two offi cial languages (English and French) and the use of at least

one national language

• Practice of lifelong learning and the four broad-based competences

The components of the subjects are presented in fi gure 3.

Terminal Learning Outcomes

At the end of this level, learners will be able to:

• listen attentively for information in a given context

• interpret information and react appropriately

• communicate to express feelings, ideas and thoughts

• read texts fl uently in a given context• write texts legibly and coherently to express feelings, ideas and thoughts• show great interest in communicating in English

Evaluation Criteria

The terminal learning outcomes at the end of level 2 and the accompanying evaluation criteria are illustrated in table 7.

comprehension questions• Presentation of materials • Respect of instructions

Writing • Write texts legibly and coherently to express feelings, ideas and thoughts

• Legibility, meaning, coherence, the right posture, right direction, presentation of materials, respect of instructions

Mathematics

Mathematics develops the learner’s creativity, initiative and problem-solving skills. It equally develops logical and inferential thinking, the ability to deduce and visualize in space and time. Through mathematics, the learner improves his/her knowledge of science, technology, agriculture and engineering. It is also necessary for fi nancial literacy and relevant to most forms of employment. Mastering Mathematics entails the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes as well as problem solving skills related to the diff erent integrated learning themes. Primary School learners need these in computation, logical thinking and problem solving to construct knowledge and understand the world around them. The Mathematics syllabus also guides teachers, educators and examiners to prepare for teaching and learning as well as for formative and summative assessment. In this curriculum, fi ve components of Mathematics have been developed, namely: Sets and Logic, Numbers and Operations, Measurement and Size, Geometry and Space, and Statistics and Graphs.

This subject has been developed from domains that were derived from the following national core skills.

• Use of basic notions in Mathematics, Science and Technology• Practice of lifelong learning and the four broad-based competences

Science and Technology

Science and Technology is penetrating every aspect of societal life and therefore has become an important component in the learning-teaching programmes at every level of education. It enables learners to understand themselves and their environment as well as adapt to the ever changing world in which they live. The teaching of Science and Technology develops the spirit of curiosity, creativity and innovation. Through Science and Technology, learners will be able to predict and analyse causes and eff ects of phenomena and use scientifi c approaches to solve emerging problems. These skills will

be developed in Health Education, Environmental Science as well as in Technology and Engineering.

This subject has been developed from domains that were derived from the following national core

skills:

• Use of basic notions in Mathematics, Science and Technology

• Demonstration of the spirit of autonomy, a sense of initiative, creativity, and innovation

• Practice of lifelong learning and the four broad-based competences

Français

Le français est l’une des deux langues offi cielles du Cameroun. Il est la deuxième langue offi cielle

dans le sous-système anglophone. Il permet aux apprenants de communiquer oralement et par écrit

dans des situations de la vie quotidienne pour un vivre-ensemble harmonieux et de s’ouvrir au monde

francophone. L’acquisition du Français se fait à travers le développement des cinq (5) compétences

de base, à savoir la compréhension orale, l’expression orale en continu, l’expression orale en

interaction, la compréhension écrite (lecture) et la production écrite. Le développement de ces

compétences se fait à travers les sous-disciplines suivantes : Compréhension et expression orale (en

continu et en interaction), compréhension écrite (lecture), production d’écrits, grammaire, vocabulaire,

conjugaison et orthographe. Il s’agit d’acquérir une véritable compétence de communication

langagière qui englobe une composante pragmatique (acte de langage), linguistique (grammaire),

sociolinguistique et socio-culturel.

Il est à noter que l’enseignement de la grammaire, du vocabulaire, de la conjugaison et de l’orthographe

est fait en contexte et lors du développement des compétences de base. Ces compétences se développent

autour des centres d’intérêt suivants : la maison, la ville/village, l’école, les métiers, les voyages, les

jeux, les traditions et la communication.

Cette discipline a été développée à partir des domaines tirés des compétences clés suivantes.

• Communiquer dans les deux langues offi cielles (français et anglais) et pratiquer au moins

une langue nationale

• Apprendre à apprendre tout au long de la vie et les quatre compétences transversales.

Les composantes de cette discipline sont présentées dans la fi gure 6.

Domain 2: Communal Life and National Integration

Communal life and national integration refers to the notion of national unity, national integration and

living together. It transcends the peculiarity of all kinds of geographical, historical, linguistic, cultural,

religious and political entities. Communal life is the feeling of belonging to a particular community

and national integration brings people of various communities together. In essence, communal life

and national integration brings about self-love, love for others and respect for the common good. The

human person is a social being, hence must live with other human beings irrespective of race, religion,

socio-economic status etc. Children socialise more than adults and there is need to consolidate this

value in them. This domain is powered by Social Studies (history, geography and citizenship). Only

the citizenship component will be taught in Level One and all three components taught in Level Two

and Level Three.

Social Studies

Social studies is the study of political, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of society in the

past, present and future. It is intended to enable human beings to understand, preserve and transform

the environment for their wellbeing and for the welfare of the community. This involves inculcating

in learners patriotic, moral and citizenship values as well as good governance qualities in order to

prepare them for a harmonious insertion into the society.

Domain 3: Vocational and Life Skills

This domain prepares the learner for the social and professional realities that they would face in life. It provides them with opportunities to showcase talents and skills resulting in their integral development. It equips them with the capacity to adapt to and transform their environments. This is done by providing relevant and contextual technical and vocational training starters. In the context of limited work opportunities, it is necessary to start orientating children to creative enterprise in early education. In this way, a generation of people fully equipped to off er meaningful employment for

themselves and at the same time, possess skills required for full participation in everyday life will

be trained. Vocational studies and life skills is geared towards opening up learners’ minds, a ready

option for taking up technical education studies in secondary school. This domain equally encourages

children who, after primary education, might not be able to go to secondary school, to learn a trade

in order to earn a living. Either way, in order to survive in world economies today, every citizen from

all strata of life needs vocational and life skills. The domain will be developed through three main

subjects namely: Vocational Studies, Arts, and Physical Education and Sports (PES).

Vocational Studies

Vocational Studies is a practical subject, which provides learners with the opportunity to develop talents,

initiative and creativity thereby enhancing their holistic development. It develops learners’ autonomy,

self-esteem and the spirit of entrepreneurship for subsequent self-reliance towards a responsible and

balanced life without any constraints on their ambitions for further education. Vocational Studies is

taught through Arts and Crafts, Agro Pastoral Farming and Home Economics. Only Arts and Crafts

and Agro-pastoral Farming will be taught in level one.

Arts and Crafts: Activities in this component will enable learners to acquire techniques to fabricate

objects using natural and recycled materials from their environment.

Agro Pastoral Farming: This activity will initiate learners into agricultural techniques and animal

farming.

Home Economics: This activity will help learners develop interest in house management such as

laundry, house craft, food and nutrition, needle work and mother craft.

This subject has been developed from domains that were derived from the following national core

skills:

• Demonstration of the spirit of autonomy, sense of initiative, creativity and entrepreneurship

• Practice of lifelong learning and the four broad-based competences

The components of the subject are presented in fi gure 8.

Arts

Arts fosters the learner’s imagination, critical thinking skills, problem-solving, creativity and aesthetic skills. Arts contents should engage, inspire and challenge learners, equipping them with knowledge and skills that can enable them create their own artistic designs. Through this subject, the learner acquires the spirit of open-mindedness and cultivates the attitude to appreciate beauty and develop his/her capacity for concentration, self-esteem, sense of sharing, assiduity, team spirit and patriotism. As learners progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of arts. This subject aims at ensuring that all learners produce creative works, explore their ideas and record their experiences, thus becoming effi cient in drawing, painting and other art and design techniques.

This subject has been developed from domains that were derived from the following core skills:• Practice of physical, sports and artistic activities• Demonstration of the spirit of autonomy, a sense of initiative, creativity and entrepreneurship• Practice of lifelong learning and the four broad-based competences

It is taught through the following components: visual arts and performing arts.

Physical Education and Sports

Physical Education and Sports is a set of physical activities that contributes to the physical, moral health and social development of the learner. It promotes a harmonious construction of the body and makes the learner fi t to perform individual and collective tasks. It is through physical and sporting activities that the child’s brain internalizes the foundations of laterality (left/right), directionality (up, down, in, out) and position in space (over, under, behind). These are concepts that are important to the learner’s mathematical thinking, vocabulary development, reading and writing skills. Physical Education and Sports remains an eff ective educational tool as it develops learners’ mental capacities through body fi tness activities.

This subject has been developed from a domain that was derived from the following core skills:• Practice of physical, sports and artistic activities• Practice of lifelong learning and the four broad-based competences

The components of the subject are presented in fi gure 10.

Domain 4: Cultural Identity

Cultural identity is a sense of belonging to a group or a nation with distinct ways of doing things. This

is characterised by language, tradition and religion. Cultural identity is, in summary, a set of traits

(customs) that characterises a people and diff erentiates them from other people. The case of Cameroon

is visibly unique because of her multicultural nature. This domain is developed via National Languages

and Cultures.

National Languages and Cultures

National Languages and Cultures constitutes the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes (values)

that enable learners to speak their national language and be rooted in their cultures, hence building

up self-esteem and confi dence. National Languages and Cultures refers to all languages and cultures

in the four major linguistic and cultural zones of Cameroon. This subject includes social practices,

modes of life, arts and crafts as well as architectural designs and literary expressions that bring out a

people’s identity. It helps learners to open up to learning and to be better educated.

Learning National Languages is advantageous especially at this time when it is established worldwide

that learning should start in the mother tongue of the learner.

This subject has been developed from domains that were derived from the following national core

skills:

• Communication in the two offi cial languages (English and French) and the use of at least

one national language

• Practice of social and citizenship values (morality, good governance and budgetary

transparency)

• Practice of lifelong learning and the four broad-based competences

The components of the subject are presented in fi gure 11.

Domain 5: Digital Literacy

Digital literacy underscores the cultural changes produced by the development and transmission of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The achievement of Cameroon’s 2035 Vision will also depend on the country’s potentials to be transformed into an information-based or knowledge-based society in which information processing, knowledge management and creation are essential features that guarantee success. The 21st century is considered as the information era and learners are expected to use ICTs to access valuable and updated resources in order to break the digital divide. Digital literacy does not only refer to computers but has evolved to include telephones, iPad, the internet and all forms of social media. With rapid growth in the number of parents buying digital devices for their children and not being able to control what the children do with these devices, it is important that education takes over its responsibilities. This domain aims at empowering learners with technological skills for present and future actions and it is developed through ICTs.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)

The use of Information and Communication Technologies is an integral part of the modern society. Information is regarded as a valuable asset for all individuals. The ability to construct knowledge from the information gathered is by and large seen as a vital survival skill in today’s society. ICTs will be most relevant and meaningful for pupils if they are used in relation to their immediate environment. Although ICT is universal, it is only by contextualization and application that pupils understand and appreciate its use. Where learning materials can only give general examples, it is recommended that the teacher uses local examples instead. ICT has the potential to stimulate pupils to engage in, enjoy and love learning. Before teaching a specifi c ICT skill, teachers are encouraged to introduce a specifi c

task to be performed, applying the new skill learnt. Tasks chosen should relate to subjects in the

curriculum such as Mathematics, English, Science and Technology.

This subject has been developed from domains that were derived from the following national core

skills:

• Use of basic information and communication technology concepts and tools

• Practice of lifelong learning and the four broad-based competences

The components of the subject are illustrated in fi gure 12.

Glossary

Assessment: It is the process of objectively understanding learners’ conditions through observations and measurements in order to provide feedback to parents, learners and to some extent, pedagogic supervisors. The measurement process is meant to improve on learning outcomes. Assessment focuses more on the entire learning process rather than on the fi nal package.

Broad-based competences: As the name implies, these are a series of competences that cut across all learning areas.

Competence: A competence is the combination of Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes (KSA) that enable learners not only to perform tasks but to behave suitably in society. These include basic KSAs needed by all primary school leavers for personal fulfi lment and development, active citizenship for social inclusion and employment.

Contents: These are learning materials that make up the unit as expressed in column one of the tables that show the structure of the subjects.

Core competences to be developed: These competences are drawn from the seven core competences identifi ed in the National Core Skills Document built by ministries in charge of education in Cameroon in 2012 following instructions from the Prime Minister.

Domain: The fi ve major teaching-learning areas in the primary school. Subjects have been carved out to constitute domains. The role of the fi ve domains is to help in the development of the seven national core skills and the four broad based competences outlined by the State in the Cameroon National Core Skills Framework.

Evaluation Criteria. These are verifi able elements in quantity and quality that make up awaited evidence or behavioural/attitudinal change to show proof of the possession of the competences developed.

Expected Learning Outcomes: (ELOs) These are behavioural and attitudinal changes to be manifested by learners in the teaching/learning process. These changes culminate in the development of competences and the learning contents are built on them.

Integrated Learning Themes: Integrated Learning Themes refer to familiar themes that guide learning. They are used to make learning real as they connect learning to real world experiences and make pupils to examine issues through diff erent lenses. They are carefully selected from the

child’s physical, economic and socio cultural milieu These themes bring about logical thinking and

collaboration in the teaching-learning process wherein, all the activities are seen as a whole rather than

as separate chunks.

Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes (KSAs): This is a concept where learning is viewed as the

acquisition of knowledge, the application of the acquired knowledge into skills and the integration of

knowledge and skills to build attitudes. These three, when built within a particular time frame, develop

competences in the learners.

Knowledge: Discipline specifi c contents. This elicits lower level thinking skills like recall and

understanding.

English Subsystem - Level I: Class 1 & Class 284

Skills: This entails the application of knowledge. They involve hands-on/practical tasks. When these are done over and over, they create connections in the brain and allow for things to be done automatically. They involve higher level skills like application, analysis and synthesis.

Attitudes: Attitudes refer to good behaviour and “common sense” and involve acceptable behaviour in the society. In more concrete terms, attitudes have to do with proper interactions with the outer world. They also bring about personal judgment of what is common good following societal norms. Attitude culminates in character.

Profi le of the learner. The profi le of the learner includes all end- of-course outcomes expressed

as a description of the kind of learner envisaged at the end of the primary cycle in terms of their

moral, physical, social, cultural and intellectual development. It has been expressed through the seven

national core skills and the four broad-based competences.

Project-based learning (PBL): This is investigative and research-based learning. Learners gain

knowledge, skills and attitudes by working for an extended period of time. It is a hands-on approach

to the teaching-learning process where learners are put at the centre of their own learning. They

investigate and respond to authentic, engaging and complex questions, problems or challenges

around them. PBL promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, self-

management/self-esteem, curiosity, creativity, accountability and a sense of responsible behaviour.

Teaching learning strategies: These include the various forms of content organisation, classroom

management, settings and opportunities that will be off ered pupils whether as individuals or in groups

to enhance learning.

Terminal learning outcomes: These are statements that describe signifi cant and essential KSAs that

learners will acquire and can be reliably demonstrated at the end of the level.

Unit: This is a major content area in a given subject. It is defi ned either by natural bonding or

closeness of related elements. In the case of National Languages and Cultures, the units are defi ned

following the integrated learning themes.

Weighting: This is the allocation of teaching-learning time in percentages to the diff erent domains

following their vastness and coverage in terms of needed subjects and contents.
