Education for All

Expanding Access to Quality Education in Cameroon

In Cameroon, educational inequality persists as a significant barrier to development. Many young people, especially in rural and underserved areas, face challenges in accessing quality educational resources.

Through extensive community engagement and research, Repeta has identified several key obstacles to educational access:

  • Limited access to books and educational materials for students from low-income families
  • Lack of supplementary learning resources outside of formal schooling
  • Digital divide preventing access to online educational content
  • Inadequate peer support systems for struggling learners
