Professor Peter Fonche:

 The seasoned lecturer and Educationist.

Professor Peter Fonche emerged with a Doctorate Degree in Education after a rich educational itinerary that took him through the Universities of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Lagos in Nigeria. He began his teaching career as an Assistant Lecturer at   the Higher Teacher Training College ENS Yaounde from 1974 to 1975.

He later returned to the familiar environment at the University of Kinshasa where he had earlier studied and worked as an Assistant Lecturer from 1975 to 1978. After this, he returned to Higher ENS Yaounde where he worked from 1978 to 1983. His next stop was at ENS Ecole Normale Superieur Bambili Campus from 1983 to 2003. From 2000 to 2012 he worked as Head of Department of Education and functioned as Associate professor from 2003.

During the period from 2003 to 2013, he worked as the Lay Private Education Secretary for the Northwest Region and contributed enormously towards improving upon the organisation of the sector in the Region. It should be recalled that the Northwest Region has one of the greatest number of lay private institutions that are found in any Region in the country and contributes about 50% of the number of candidates who succeed at the Cameroon General Certificate of Education annually.

The next important thing he did to enrich humanity was the creation of FONAB Polytechnic and Colleges in 1997. The FONAB Educational Foundation which he founded is made up of FONAB Polytechnic, FONAB High School Bamenda, FONAB High School Kedjom Keku and FONAB Mechanical Engineering Workshop.

This nation builder in the domain of education has received National Honours thus acknowledging the fact that the Government of the Republic of Cameroon through the award of these awards recognised what he had been doing. He has received the Cameroon Knight of the Order of Merit as well as the Press Innovation Award to Sustainable Development in 2016.

Professor Peter is still a very active person participating in the running of his establishments and still imparting knowledge to Cameroonians and Africans at large. This widely traveled Cameroonian professor who is settled in Bamenda in the Northwest Region of Cameroon remains an educational gem to be sourced from.
