Jules Adam Tomboka travels every day to visit all the villages in his administrative unit to encourage students to go to school in order to help build the nation and earn a living in future.

Located 120 km from Bertoua, the capital of the region of the East, Ngoura district, one of the most landlocked Department of Lom-and-Djerem, with an area of 9,000 km2, faces all the pangs of poverty and low education.

To launch the back to school train here, it was necessary that the administrative authority visited most of the villages of his administrative unit to urge parents to send their children to school.

"In the company of traditional leaders, we had to do door-to-door visits, and September 8, 2014, the re-opening day in Cameroon, we visited 21 out of 32 given the remoteness of the area" described the sub-prefect of Ngoura. As if that's not enough, at the beginning of the school year, Jules Adam Tomboka took another practical option.

From Monday to Friday, the head of area left his residence to patrol the following areas; Ngoura, Tibala, Colomine, Ngambadi, Tongo-Gandima, Guiwa-Yangamo and even some refugee camps.

"Sometimes I manage to spend the night in a village to wake up everybody (parents, students and teachers) by honking very early in the morning" indicated Jules Adam Tomboka, whose remarks were confirmed by the local people.

"We are already accustomed to his Horn blowing and threats in the positive sense of the term. Because sometimes he carries our children to attend a distant schools" says Adamou Garga, of Yangamo village Guiwa.

A special attitude of the sub-prefect which is justified by the tenacity of the people of this district to remember their progeny in homes, in order to lead them in the yards of gold and other grasslands.

This unconsciousness from relatives, according him, is responsible for the high rate of school drop outs observed in this district which has 32 public primary schools, 6 public nursery schools, 4 private primary schools and 3 private kindergartens.

According to Luc Ndal Baman, Inspector of district "the actual problem here is ignorance".
