Abstract

Our research subject is « the continuing training system for primary school teachers and the academic performance of students in Cameroon. Case of public’s primaries schools of Bertoua1. » It arise from the observation that although the Cameroonian government, through is ministry of basic education, has invested considerably in the latter decade in the basic education sub-sector using all means to ensure quality education for all children of school age, the fact remain that we have many problems encountered on the ground. The examination of these problems by certain experts in the field of education shows the fact that the large proportion is caused by poor qualification and incompetence teachers in service to integrate the environmental and change factors of rapidly changing word in their teaching approach. It is in this logic that we formulated the main question of our following study: Is there a significant link between the continuing training teacher’s system of primary school and the academic performance of students? To answer this question, we formulated a general hypothesis. “There is significance link between the continuing training teacher’s system of primary school and academic performance of student.” For verify this hypothesis, we used data collection method called “semi directive interview” and the “thematic content analysis” method to analyze the speeches of the participants from the sample that we got by using common-sense non- probability sampling method. This concerns the teaching staff of public primary school of TIGAZA 2-B in the district of Bertoua 1. Thanks to some educative theories, we interpreted and confirmed the general hypothesis according to which the continuing training system for primary school teachers influences the academic performance of students, and consequently successfully approves the secondary’s hypotheses according to which the knowledge, methods and techniques, actors and instruments of the continuing training system for teachers improve the academic performance of students. Thus, after having mentioned the difficulties and limitations of the study, we made suggestions to the Cameroonian government, teachers in activity and hierarchy so that this study serves and is worth what right.
