An Assessment of E-Learning Strategies in Enhancing Quality Education in Cameroon During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Cameroon: Case of Government Bilingual High School Yaoundé

Abstract

E-learning had been adopted to facilitate the teaching-learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic in Cameroon. This paper examines the effectiveness of the e-learning strategies vis-à-vis quality education in Government Bilingual High School (GBHS) Yaoundé. To achieve this objective, the exploratory method has been adopted, which is both qualitative and quantitative. Using a purposive sampling technique, 258 teachers and 750 students were selected for the study. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for data analyses and the following results were obtained: e-learning strategies were ineffective in fostering the quality of education in G.B.H.S Yaoundé. In effect, e-learning exerted a mere 33.8 percent influence on quality education. Based on these findings, this study sees global investment in digital pedagogy as a privileged form in strengthening the resilience of school systems when faced with possible future educational emergencies such as those caused by the COVID ̵19 pandemic.
