Abstract:
This study examines the emergence of autonomous teacher’s trade unions in the British Southern/West Cameroons. The objective is to account for their creation and the important role they played in enhancing the teaching profession, education and social evolution of the territory. The paper demonstrates their contributions to social advancement and the impact of their activities. Using archival and secondary sources, the study reveals that the teacher’s trade unions were well organised, conscious of their tasks and were determined in protecting the interest of the teachers. More to that, the unions actively participated in the social dynamics of the Southern Cameroons nations.
