Some students are barely two months now enjoying their holiday while others have not retired from classroom business since the end of the third term.

Holiday classes are ongoing nationwide either for a month or two in both English and French schools.

The classes are attended by students from either examination or non-examination classes who are either slow or smart learners and are out to improve their learning capacities.

Some of these slow learners include students who were promoted under trials or those facing difficulties in particular subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, English and French Languages etc.

Most of the classes hold for at most four hours per day with a fee ranging from 15,000FCFA to 20,000FCFA per month.

According to the proprietor of the Adventist College Nlongkak in Yaounde, where one of such classes are held, four hours per day for his students at holiday classes is sufficient to save them time for other holiday activities.

Even though short like he thinks, some of his students would choose to indulge into other activities during holiday rather than holiday classes should their parents permit them make their choices.

Since they are under parental control, they tend to make holiday school a fertile ground for new acquaintance so as to cope with boredom.
