Page 54 The research park of the Yaoundé I Ecole Normale Supérieure Polytechnique is now open to the students in our universities to give them professional training for creating and managing a business. The free zone concept started in this same school. At the same time, the university authorities continued with efforts to consolidate the Bachelors/Masters/Doctorate system. The satellite equipment and servers for the two virtual universities at the Université de Yaoundé, were installed, one for national purposes and the other, to cover the subregion. Prior to this, the information technology centre had started its operations. During the past year, 16 private institutions of higher learning were established, bringing to 73 the number of this type of institution in Cameroon. Soon, institutes of fine arts will be created at the Universities of Douala and Dschang, as well as the Institute of fisheries sciences in the economic capital. As regards infrastructure, we cannot list all that has been done or initiated for our universities by way of classrooms, laboratories, libraries, amphitheatres and lecture halls. Within the framework of the university‟s social governance, an agreement has just been signed with a local insurance company. More than a thousand teachers and their families already have health insurance cover which may be used in case of travel abroad.  Improving Vocational Training In a bid to improve the availability of vocational training and adapt it to the needs of the work place, MINEFOP has selected the skills-based approach. This method begins with the production of training manuals through an analysis of the work situation. Through the approach, 15 new training manuals have been developed in the two official languages, French and English for ITC-related and SAR/SM jobs. Still in a bid to improve the quality of vocational training, MINEFOP has initiated a five-year project (2007 – 2011) with IADM (multilateral debt relief initiative) funding which has, so far, rehabilitated some training facilities, bought equipment, trained trainers, set up institutional councils, etc. With regard to training in private institutions, MINEFOP monitors the quality of training by giving approval to and supervising examinations and certifying training. In order to improve the availability of training, three professional training centres of excellence are in the process of being set up in Douala, Limbé and Sangmélima with support from South Korea, to upgrade the skills of Cameroonian youth and position them socially and professionally.
