Abstract
The aim of this study was to propose themes capable of guiding quarterly evaluations in secondary education in Cameroon. For this, the work was carried out in the field and indoors. In the field, it was a question of supporting Heads of Departments in the development of themes proposals. Indoors, the work dealt with the producing of unique respective quarterly themes. So, it can be easily seen that the desire for some Educational Departments to work in synergy as well as their difficulty in agreeing on the themes responsible for guiding the quarterly evaluations is real. The themes then designed for the first group of Pedagogical Departments are successively: Well-being and the challenges of daily life; Environmental protection and health promotion in daily life; Technological advances, interculturality and inculturation for a better integration of young people in the “modern” world. Regarding the second group, the themes are respectively: The disintegration of African cultures from the slave trade to the present day; The removal of barriers in view of the promotion of Pan-Africanism; Technological advances, interculturality and inculturation for a better integration of young people in the “modern” world. The possibility of rebuilding the contents of the programs of the various Pedagogical Departments around previously constructed themes remains possible in Cameroon; it is the guarantee of a training strongly rooted in Cameroonian culture, seen here as the springboard for economic growth.
