Faced with this situation, the students staged a strike which therefore pushed the Head of establishment who solicited the support of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) to solve this problem. "It was first of all the students of 3ème who wanted to rebel when they noticed their Principal had not forwarded the files of the students of their class," says Michel Ngoumou the PTA President of Government High School Nguelemendouka.According to the PTA President, it is thanks to the loan of CFA F 700 000 contracted from the association that the Principal succeeded in paying the examination fees of students in 3ème. After the resolution of this problem, in the East it was believed that everything had returned to order.
But the activities in the school werec paralyzed during the Physical Education exams of the baccalauréat. when the candidates for this examination asked to see the final lists. With the help of Simplice Kengne, the Sub-divisional Officer of the Néglemendouka district, the students passed their exams, but were not sure that their files have actually been forwarded by the Principal. Upon the insistence of the administrative authority, an incomplete list was handed to him. A few days before the examination, the administrative authority tried to solve the problem.
