In Pursuit of a Dream
Born into a poor family, COCO Bertin lost his sight at the age of fifteen, following his older sister. The double burden of his modest social background and blindness, far from being a fate that reduced him to defeatism, only intensified his desire to succeed. In a sober and poignant language, he recounts the painful experience of his blindness, his struggles fueled by a powerful dream, and the triumphant victories of his personal life and those of the blind community in Cameroon, of which he is an emblematic figure as co-founder of CJARC (Club of Rehabilitated Young Blind People of Cameroon).

Social representations of stakeholders and inclusive education of learners with special educational needs at the Inclusive Pilot Public School of Yaoundé
This study revolves around the theme of social representations of stakeholders and the inclusive education of learners with special educational needs in Cameroon, based on the situation of learners at the Inclusive Pilot Public School of Nkolndongo in Yaoundé. In terms of inclusion, a serious challenge emerges from the field due to insufficient teacher training and the non-compliance of educational infrastructures with specific standards for persons with disabilities. Based on this observation, the main research question is: Do the social representations of education stakeholders have an impact on the inclusive education of learners with special educational needs at the Inclusive Pilot Public School of Nkolndongo? The inferential analysis of the data confirmed a real impact of attitudes, prejudices and stereotypes on the learners. It follows that the implementation of this educational form requires the elimination of degrading behavioral barriers towards learners with disabilities through teacher training on disability issues and the infrastructural redevelopment of schools.
