Over 200, 000 candidates will commence the written phase of the Cameroon General Certificate of Education (GCE) today, Tuesday, June 3, 2025. This year saw an 8.7% increase in the number of registered candidates. 


The increase in GCE registrations this year can be attributed to improved security and the reopening of several schools previously closed in the English-speaking regions, likely explaining the rise in registered candidates. 


Speaking to Cameroon Radio and Television, CRTV on Sunday, June 1, the head of the GCE Board's transitional management team, Ndi Bernadette Frinwie Ntemna, said everyone is set for the exams to kick off today with 213,000 candidates. 


She added that strict procedures will be followed, and only candidates who have duly registered will write. 


"There are two phases of registration. Only candidates who finalised the second phase of registration and have the right registration number will take part,"


"All writing material has been put in the centers to avoid confusion. 213,000 candidates will be sitting for the exams across Cameroon's 10 regions." Ndi Bernadette said. 


Papers for June 6 rescheduled


Ahead of the written phase today, the Minister of Secondary Education, Prof. Nalova Lyonga, rescheduled the papers for Friday, June 6, to Monday, June 9. 


It should be noted that the rescheduling was due to the Muslim Feast of Ramadan, which is taking place on June 6. "The time initially scheduled for these subjects remains unchanged," Prof. Nalova Lyonga stated in a communiqué.
