Abstract: This study explores the current landscape of teacher training and professional development in Cameroon, focusing on the challenges and opportunities within the educational system. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 200 teachers across urban and rural regions through surveys and interviews. The findings reveal significant disparities in access to training and development opportunities, particularly for rural educators who face considerable obstacles. The results underscore the importance of continuous professional development in improving teaching practices and educational outcomes. The study proposes policy reforms and practical strategies to enhance the professional growth of teachers in Cameroon, particularly in under-resourced areas.
