Educational Arm of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC)

1. Who We Are (Preamble)

The Presbyterian Education Authority (PEA) is the official educational arm of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon (PCC).
Following the PCC’s autonomy from the Basel Mission on November 13, 1957, the PEA was established in 1966 to manage and advance the Church’s educational mission throughout Cameroon.

PEA provides Christian, value-driven, accessible education across nine regions, especially in the Anglophone areas.

Crisis Resilience
