When the INSET project ended, the Centres were taken over in 1996, by the French Cooperation Mission, within the context of the PASECA (Programme d’Appui au System Educative Camerounaise) project. This project incorporated French, Biology and Chemistry. It also created other centres in Yaounde, Douala, Bafoussam and Garoua.
