Résumé
Cet article conceptualise les notions de centralisation et de décentralisation et démontre que le système éducatif camerounais va au devant d'une décentralisation imminente. II se base sur la littérature disponible à ce sujet, ainsi que sur l'expérience pédagogique, pour critiquer la centralisation du système éducatif camerounais, particulièrement en matière de distribution et de gestion des ressources. L'auteur avance que, pour améliorer la quantité et la qualité de l'enseignement au Cameroun, il est indispensable de décentraliser l'imputation et le contrôle y afférent. Il présente le modèle proposé par le gouvernement en vue de la décentralisation prévue, et suggère des rôles et fonctions pour les divers niveaux d'autorité contenus dans le modèle.
