National School of Administration and Magistracy (ENAM) Cameroon, established in Yaounde in 1959,[1] is a large school of higher education whose main mission is the training and development of high officials of the Cameroonian government.[2] It is a public institution with a public personality and financial autonomy. It is under the technical supervision of the Ministry of Public Service and Administrative Reform.[3]
History
The original name at creation is the Cameroon School of Administration (ECA). This school is the main crucible of administrators of the Cameroonian civil service since the independence of Cameroon on May 1, 1960. In 1961, the school opens a special cycle to prepare for the entrance examination to the normal cycles of candidates from the under-educated regions. Cameroon has two official national languages since independence and reunification. As a result, in 1963, a preparatory cycle for the entrance examination to Cycle A and B for English-speaking candidates were launched. The major change came in 1964: The Cameroon School of Administration (ECA) became the Normal School of Administration and Magistracy (ENAM). The main mission also changed. It is now necessary to train the civil and financial personnel of the State, as well as the magistrates of the judiciary. In 1985, ENAM became part of the National Center for Administration and Magistracy (CENAM) with the Higher Institute of Public Management (ISMP) and the Institute of Administrative and Financial Techniques (ITAF). 1995 marks the reopening of cycles A and B for the training of civil and financial service personnel. This year also marks the creation of the Research and Documentation Center for administrative problems. 2010 marks the opening of admission to the Judicial Division to graduates of Computer Science and Economics of Higher Education. Since 2012, graduates in computer science and economics of higher education compete for admission to the Division of the Judiciary and Transplants.

Controversies
The entry examination to ENAM is generally tainted with controversies that challenge the objective and transparent character of eligibility.
In 2004, eighty-eight (88) candidates in the ENAM competition received a three-year suspension, all examinations in all university courses for "fraud" and "attempted fraud".[6]
In February 2006, Benjamin Amama Amam, then Minister of Public Service and Vocational Training, ordered the cancellation of the ENAM results competitions for the 2005-2006 session, following a January 2006 report denounces exam fraud. He later reversed his decision by order of Jules Doret Ndongo, then Secretary General of the Prime Minister's Office.[7][8]
In October 2009, Dr. Shanda Tomne, then Chairperson of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and Discrimination (COMICODI), sends a letter of denunciation of the results of the first-year entrance examination of the Judicial Division, Judicial Section, to the Director General of ENAM.[9]
In 2012, Prime Minister Philemon Yang instructed the Director General of ENAM, Linus Toussaint Mendjana, the exclusion of six students who were admitted on the sole instruction of the Speaker of the National Assembly Cavaye Yeguié Djibril, and not by competition.[10]
