The CBC Hailed as
Model of Democratic Practice
This commendation was given last Tuesday, April 11th by
North West Provincial Delegate of Labour and Social
Security, Mr. Ade Simon Fru in the presence of his South
West counterpart on the occasion of the renewal of the
2004 Protocol Agreement between officials of the
Education Board (EB) as an employer and Staff
Representatives from Baptist primary schools and
colleges in Cameroon representing the workers.

The Pedagogue
Columns and columnists are literary
pearls that can make or mar the reputation of the
newspaper. In this regard, the Editorial Board of the
EB
Mirror thought it most
salutary to introduce a column on our tabloid titled
The
Pedagogue which has come to
stay as a regular feature.

Queen Takes Over Command of BHS Mankon
The date August 8, 2005 will go
down in the annals of Baptist Education as the first
ever female Principal was installed by the Baptist
Education Secretary, Mr. Tetevi Bodylawson in the
presence of a cross section of the staff. For once,
that Mr.Che Venatius, hitherto the Principal saw himself
doing the inevitable-handing over the baton of command
to the soft spoken, witty and elegant looking Miss
Enanga Patience Jabea who was charged with the onerous
task of managing the destiny of this illustrious
academic citadel of Mankon.
What is the Future of our Primary School
Teachers?
The Education Board, like
all other Boards of the Convention, remains one of the
functional vehicles of Evangelism by way of selling its
unique and highly qualitative Christian education
throughout its institutions of merit. Indeed, Academic
Excellence and Moral Rectitude are twin concepts upon
which its Education System is tailored.
It is against this
background that the Editorialist pauses to reflect on
the following questions: How can the afore cited values
be made more sustainable in the twenty first century?
How can the EB build up a crop of dedicated, assiduous
and forward looking teaching personnel that can continue
to inculcate these noble values in the Cameroonian
child? Perhaps, more importantly, what is the future of
our primary school teachers? In fact, these and more
questions are both relevant and timely considering that
the CBC has just celebrated a momentous Golden Jubilee,
full of colour and ecstatic splendour.

Teaching Tips for Teaching Reading
Skills
Understanding the meaning and organization of text and
instruction in both literature and phonics is essential
to helping young children read. Below are a few tips
found on the
World Wide Web at:
http://ericec.org/ttips.html.
Create Appreciation of the Written Word.
Teach the ways in which reading is
essential to the communications of everyday life (e.g.,
on instructions, labels, and signs).
Develop Awareness of Printed Language and
the Writing System.
Students should be taught the basics about books-that
they are read from left to right and top to bottom, that
print may be accompanied by pictures or graphics, that
the pages are numbered, and that the purpose of reading
is to gain meaning from the text and understand ideas
that words convey.
