Journalist Charles Armel Mbatchou has addressed an open letter to Madame le Ministre des enseignements secondaires, demanding an immediate suspension of an extraordinary disciplinary council that was scheduled to convene on Monday, 26 October 2026.
The council, which is intended to tackle disciplinary issues within secondary schools, is set to meet on that date. Mbatchou argues that the timing is problematic and requests that the proceedings be postponed until further information can be gathered.
In his letter, the journalist calls for a temporary halt to the council’s activities, urging the ministry to reconsider the timetable and to ensure that all relevant stakeholders are adequately consulted before any decisions are made.
The request comes amid ongoing debates about the effectiveness of disciplinary measures in Cameroon’s secondary education system. Stakeholders across the sector will be watching closely to see how the ministry responds to this appeal.
