Cameroon is a Central African nation on the Gulf of Guinea. Bantu speakers were among the first groups to settle Cameroon,followed by the Muslim Fulani until German domination in 1884. After World War I,the French took over 80% of the area,and the British 20%. After World War II,self-government was granted,and in 1972,a unitary republic was formed out of East and West Cameroon. Until 1976 there were two separate education systems,French and English,which did not merge seamlessly. English and French are now considered the primary languages of instruction with English being more preferred. Local languages are generally not taught as there are too many,and choosing between them would raise further issues.
