Page 49  Domestic Resources These comprise budget allocations which, with the economic upturn, have been growing for the social sector: allocations envisaged as part of the implementation of the PRSP, HIPC funds, subsidies and customs exemptions are all a part of this growth as are contributions from national NGOs. E.g. the Chantal Biya Foundation builds the Champion FCB schools and leases them to the Government.  International Cooperation This includes contributions from United Nations bodies, bilateral and multilateral cooperation agencies such as international NGOs, through jointly funded programmes and projects. 1) Availability of Education and Vocational Training  Availability of Education The availability of education improved significantly with the increase in the number of classrooms and teachers. An example is the large number of primary schools that were constructed under the Cameroon – Japan cooperation and are currently in operation. At the nursery and primary levels, 3,562 schools are in operation, making it possible to enrol 138,716 children in nursery and 2,798,523 pupils in primary schools. Gross enrolment rates at pre-school and primary levels have increased steadily, from 10.5 and 83.5 to 13.5 and 105.4 per cent (TBS2 P57), mainly due to the free primary education policy enshrined in Art. 47, Decree No. 2001/041 of 19 February 2001. Between 2001 and 2007, 461 secondary schools were constructed to guarantee the availability of education in the border towns and landlocked areas as in the cities. 1,477 primary schools have been constructed. The Maroua teacher training college was established on 9 August 2009, bringing to four the number of such institutions in Cameroon.  Availability of Vocational Training As part of its mandate to provide vocational training, the Ministry of Employment and Vocational Training manages the rural artisan and housecraft centres (SAR/SM) and the public vocational training institutions, and supervises the private training institutions and centres.
