The South Korean Alumni Association in Cameroon, in partnership with the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), has renovated the Plateau Public Primary School in Nanga-Eboko. The renovated school was handed over to the Cameroonian authorities on October 8, 2026. The project, dubbed "Eco-Friendly and Secure School Grounds Development Project," aimed to address infrastructure and security concerns at the school. The ceremony was attended by local administrative authorities and parents.
The renovated school boasts several improvements, including repainted walls with educational murals, a perimeter fence, metal gates, and ecological facilities. According to KOICA Country Director Kim Yu Kyum, the project is a testament to South Korea's commitment to supporting educational and resilient projects in Cameroon. The association's efforts aim to provide a safe and secure learning environment for students.
The Secretary General of the KOICA Alumni Association, Roger Ngalsoudi, stated that the project aligns with the association's civic and community development initiatives. The project was designed to address pressing infrastructure and security concerns at the school, including the lack of a perimeter fence, which exposed students to risks such as intrusions and road accidents.
The KOICA Alumni Association and KOICA have been working together to support development projects in Cameroon. The association comprises former beneficiaries of KOICA's international cooperation scholarships. The project is a demonstration of their commitment to giving back to their community.
The renovation project included the construction of a perimeter fence, installation of metal gates, and ecological facilities. The school's infrastructure has been transformed, providing a conducive learning environment for students. The project's impact is expected to be felt by the school's students, teachers, and the broader community.
KOICA has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting educational projects in Cameroon. The organization believes that education is key to the country's development and has been actively involved in supporting initiatives that promote education and community development. The renovated school is a testament to this commitment.
The handover ceremony of the renovated school was attended by various stakeholders, including local authorities and parents. The event marked a significant milestone in the partnership between KOICA, the KOICA Alumni Association, and the Cameroonian government. The project's success is expected to inspire future collaborations between the parties.
