Usually at this time of the year, parents already start buying books for their children while waiting for the beginning of the new school year.

Barely one week to the 2016-2017 academic year in Cameroon, many parents and guardians are still living in suspense due to the absence of some books. What has been the cause for worry is that some of books on the official book list are not found in bookshops.

Last week, parents could be seen going from one bookshop to another in search of books. At the Librairie St. Paul last Thursday August 26, 2016 in Yaounde, work was going on normally. Parents could be seen buying books and other school items for their children. Emmanuel Ondo Evezo’o, a parent, said he could not find all the books for his children even after searching the bookshops. Justin Ayang Dieudonné, a worker said all the text books were not yet available. He said there were new books in the syllabus but which were not yet in the market. He said the books that were still lacking were new books like Emergons 6e and Mathematiques 3e, Les Genies Mathematiques 5e, 4e, and 3e and some old books which are also not available like Classic Africaine. He however said he has hope that all the books will be available before the reopening date.
