WHY MARCUS RASHFORD WAS ABSENT FOR THE FULHAM GAME

Vision 2035. Can we get there without mending the current system?

In the beginning of 2017, Cameroon’s population was estimated to be about 24.5 million people, showing about 2.2 million+ growth from 2014 statistics. According to United Nations forecast, by 2035, Cameroon's population will be about 36.576.873 million people. A good faction of this population is made of subsistence farmers and students, with only a little percentage covering full time class workers. 

In the domain of education, Cameroon disposes of very few hyper professional schools that train skilled labor. The few that exist are characterized by complex political alterations and very huge financial costs, making entry almost impossible for the “common” Cameroonian.
A weak education at the base determines the pupil’s future. More than half of the country’s population live in rural areas that dispose of very little or no schooling infrastructures, limited number of professional teachers who are mostly not motivated in order to enhance productivity.  All these weaken the intellectual capacity of the youthful population.
GOVERNMENT PRIMARY SCHOOL NJIKWA
The country’s educational system has been relatively unstable for the past academic year due to the problems in the two English speaking regions. This is seen in the poor performance in the General Certificate of Examination results at both the ordinary and advanced levels.

More than 29% of Cameroon's population lives below the poverty line with barely a meal a day and in total, a whopping 60%+ depends on subsistence agriculture for a livelihood. The crops gotten from this form of agriculture is mostly consumed locally. This situation has been aggravated by the problem plaguing the two English regions.
MIXED FARM(Maize, beans)

Of all the output gotten from agriculture, about 90% is exported as primary products with no transformation done at very pathetic prices. These same materials are transformed and resold to us as very high prices. Same goes to the mineral sector. 
Key resources that could improve the country’s Gross National Product has been placed in the hands of foreign  companies who repatriate all earnings and invest almost nothing in the regions of exploitation.

WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD?. In order to combat these problems, the country needs to invest more on the educational sector. It is from this sector that professionals will be trained in all other domains, be it mining, technological or diplomacy. We would not need to bring in professionals to manage our resources.
The government should also try to partially cover financial burdens in professional institutions. This will encourage the average Cameroonian to forward his/her education.
Teachers should be regularly motivated with prices, increments and tokens. This will boost their zeal to do the job in a livelier manner.
These, and a lot more will help improve the country’s economy in the forthcoming years, thereby driving the country towards its great ambitions.

WHY MARCUS RASHFORD WAS ABSENT FOR THE FULHAM GAME

 Manchester United's decision to exclude Marcus Rashford from their Premier League match against Fulham has been clarified. The absence of our number 10 was due to injury as the team bounced back from consecutive home defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle United with a 1-0 victory over Fulham, courtesy of Bruno Fernandes' late goal. Although Rashford traveled with the rest of the squad, the Manchester-born forward was unable to participate in the match in west London due to a leg injury. During training, he suffered a significant knock to his leg, preventing him from completing the final session before the game. In the morning, Rashford underwent a fitness test where it was determined that he was not fit to play. Erik ten Hag confirmed this during his pre-match interview with TNT Sports, stating that Rashford had traveled with the team but his leg injury did not improve sufficiently. When questioned about whether Rashford would have been in the starting lineup considering r

Paris climate agreement. U.S.A steps out.

The Paris Climate agreement was reached between 194 countries, the U.S.A inclusive. On June 1, President Donald Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change. This decision threatens our security, our public health and welfare, our economic prosperity, and our clean energy industry, which supports millions of U.S. jobs. It threatens the air we breathe and the water we drink. It threatens our ecosystems and disproportionately affects the most vulnerable people on our planet. Withdrawing from the Paris Agreement does not represent the will of the American people. The probable reason President Donald Trump chose to withdraw from the agreement was because of the awareness of the fact that being a part of the agreement will imply cutting down emissions from the U.S industrial sector to a certain proportion and as a business minded tycoon, he saw it as a weakness to the economy of the United States. There is something you can d
