Arts education and public policy Longin Colbert Eloundou

Since 2017, the State of Cameroon has undertaken a certain number of reforms relating in particular to the introduction of the arts in Secondary Education, following two orientations: firstly, what should be called arts training (the new cinematographic Baccalaureate being an illustration of this); secondly, what is increasingly referred to by the concept of arts education. Higher education has just followed in the footsteps of secondary education, with the creation of the first Department of Arts Education in a École Normale Supérieure (ENS). It is important to study the scientific conditions for the generalization of such an innovation. Through the paradigm of the evaluation of public policies in general and of educational or sectoral policies in particular, the book is at the same time a critical reading, a prospective writing and a lesson in application concerning the didactics of artistic disciplines.
