Abstract
This book explores the complex dynamics of higher education governance in Cameroon, a sector crucial for the country's socio-economic development. It highlights the challenges faced by educational institutions, including the quality of teaching, access to resources, and administrative management. The author also analyzes the value of certificates in the Cameroonian labor market. By examining the expectations of employers and the skills of graduates, he highlights a worrying gap between academic training and professional requirements. By proposing innovative solutions to improve governance to strengthen the relevance of diplomas, this book is an essential resource for policymakers, educators, and anyone interested in the future of higher education in Cameroon.
