Higher Institute of Professional Studies and Career Development/Mary Mossongo Memorial College of Education's Mission Statement

The Mary Mossongo Memorial College of Education (M3COE) is located in Kumba, Cameroon, West/Central Africa. It is a professional Teacher Training College for the Public and Private Sector. It obtained government authorisation in 2001. The College has a regular and distance education program for the training of teachers. Candidates write the national examination for teacher certification at the end of their training period. The College has scored one hundred percent each year since its inception. Successful candidates work in nursery, primary and secondary education as Grade One teachers. Our millennium goal is to have exchange programs with teacher education programs in the USA, Europe, as well as in other African nations. We encourage students and teachers of teacher education programs to contact us for international development on internships, research projects, and exchange arrangements. Our immersion program allows international travelers and students to live in Cameroon while studying the culture of Cameroonians through tours, languages, volunteer services, and informal education. Participants interact with families, learn the history and culture of the country, visit touristic centres and important traditional settings and, above all, walk and play on the beach front property owned by a patron and located in Limbe. We look forward to fruitful relationships.
