Atang also praised the Minister of Secondary Education for supporting the institution. He also reiterated the place of UK-Cameroon relations, in helping the school attain new heights.

The British High Commissioner to Cameroon, for his part, saluted the commitment of Atang, to improve education in Cameroon.

“The partnerships between Cameroon and the UK, between the Cameroon system and the Cambridge accreditation system, are vital. This initiative brings people together from Cameroon and the UK, enriching our students,” Ambassador Woods noted. 

For Minister Nalova Lyonga, it is a thing of joy to note that the founder of the school “… has sought the highest standards... digitalisation is key to enhancing education in Cameroon. St. Mary will have to do that... and we will keep a keen eye on what’s being done with digitalisation”.

Atang noted, “before the unveiling, it had started impacting the teaching and the learning of our students here...this is going to improve and give exposure to the school, and prestige to the students and parents.”

Atang noted that, “we’re going to take the best from both programs to help our students succeed in the world”.
