Abstract: Since 1945, Cameroon has embarked on a journey to provide higher education for its youth, recognizing it as a cornerstone for achieving independence. During this period, Cameroon demonstrated a clear commitment to enhancing its education system in preparation for sovereignty, aligning with its objectives under international law. The intellectual vanguard of Cameroon understood that political autonomy necessitated the capacity for self-governance, with higher education emerging as a crucial avenue to meet this demand. Following its formal independence, the Cameroonian government prioritized the development of higher education. As a nation characterized by a dual cultural identity, Cameroon's higher education system implemented both the French and English education systems, distinguishing it from its African counterparts and contributing to its unique educational landscape. However, navigating the coexistence of these dual systems presented challenges, necessitating a protracted period of development and adaptation. Throughout this developmental journey, Cameroon achieved significant milestones in higher education and implemented vital reforms. Yet, persistent challenges such as insufficient funding, subpar teaching standards, and a lack of coherent higher education policies have persisted, hindering the modernization of the sector. Addressing these issues is crucial for the continued development of higher education in Cameroon. This paper employs a literature review methodology and draws upon the "core-periphery" theory to analyze the historical trajectory and inherent challenges facing the modernization of higher education in Cameroon. By doing so, it seeks to offer insights into potential pathways for fostering the deepening and sustainable development of higher education in the country, thereby shaping its future outlook.Abstract: Since 1945, Cameroon has embarked on a journey to provide higher education for its youth, recognizing it as a cornerstone for achieving independence.

Abstract: Fostering the global competence of graduate students stands as a key strategy to enhance individual comprehensive quality and adapt to the ongoing trend of globalization, while also serving as a pivotal driver for societal advancement and international cooperation. This study delves into the core of global competence, establishing a framework and developmental pathway to enrich the global competence of graduate students. The aim is to encourage a localized interpretation of global competence and outline the objectives and paths for student development. Existing models for global competence incorporate a combination of elements, a fusion of stages and elements, and an emphasis on action. Expanding on these models, this research constructs a framework for graduate students' global competence across four key dimensions: knowledge, skills, attitudes and values, and actions. To excel at the knowledge level, individuals are encouraged to deeply explore their professional fields and adopt a global perspective; at the skills level, they should adjust to global changes and actively participate in cross-cultural communication and collaboration; in terms of attitudes and values, embracing global diversity and nurturing a sense of shared human destiny are crucial; and at the action level, active involvement in fostering a harmonious society and advancing research progress is deemed essential. However, prevailing challenges in graduate education include deficiencies in professional skills, a lack of international awareness, and limited global engagement. Consequently, this study proposes enhancing the professionalism of talent development in graduate education, fostering a multicultural environment, enhancing teachers' international competencies, and instilling a strong sense of agency in students.Abstract: Fostering the global competence of graduate students stands as a key strategy to enhance individual comprehensive quality and adapt to the ongoing trend of globalization, while also serving as a pivotal driver for societal advancement and international cooperation.
