“…Moreover, the inequalities triggered by higher education were strongest in the western region. Although (unlike the situation for basic education) the government does not restrict students' choice of universities in other provinces, the rules for prioritizing the admission of local students to universities mean that students from less developed regions have fewer opportunities to go to the university of their choice, even when they have equal abilities (Xia et al, 2023). The unequal distribution of educational resources affects training and economic development in the less-developed regions, and the regional income gap therefore becomes increasingly serious.…”

“…Excessive government intervention in higher education institutions severely curtails their capacity to assert their value [17]. In Cameroon, the government not only wields authority in appointing key positions such as education ministers, rectors, and deans but also mandates that public higher education institutions seek approval from government officials prior to making significant decisions.…”

Since 1945, Cameroon has embarked on a journey to provide higher education for its youth, recognizing it as a cornerstone for achieving independence. During this period, Cameroon demonstrated a clear commitment to enhancing its education system in preparation for sovereignty, aligning with its objectives under international law. The intellectual vanguard of Cameroon understood that political autonomy necessitated the capacity for self-governance, with higher education emerging as a crucial avenue to meet this demand. Following its formal independence, the Cameroonian government prioritized the development of higher education. As a nation characterized by a dual cultural identity, Cameroon's higher education system implemented both the French and English education systems, distinguishing it from its African counterparts and contributing to its unique educational landscape. However, navigating the coexistence of these dual systems presented challenges, necessitating a protracted period of development and adaptation. Throughout this developmental journey, Cameroon achieved significant milestones in higher education and implemented vital reforms. Yet, persistent challenges such as insufficient funding, subpar teaching standards, and a lack of coherent higher education policies have persisted, hindering the modernization of the sector. Addressing these issues is crucial for the continued development of higher education in Cameroon. This paper employs a literature review methodology and draws upon the "core-periphery" theory to analyze the historical trajectory and inherent challenges facing the modernization of higher education in Cameroon. By doing so, it seeks to offer insights into potential pathways for fostering the deepening and sustainable development of higher education in the country, thereby shaping its future outlook.

“…Scientists also analyze the modern models of universities in the context of their impact on the development of the territory [19]. Scholars also study the various effects of the joint development of cities and universities, so we can highlight the studies on the improvement of higher education in China by increasing scientific innovation [20][21][22][23] to eliminate social inequalities [24], improving the quality of universities to achieve technical efficiency and improve productivity [25] and others.…”

The importance of education, knowledge and science in today’s world cannot be overstated. The competitiveness of an educational organisation depends on the development of the urban space in which it is located. Transformation processes in society have led to changes in the formats of interaction in the system “city-university” from the perspective of considering the city as a consumer of highly qualified personnel and commercialised innovations, and universities as an environment for creating innovations, knowledge and a source of highly qualified personnel, actualising the trend of their joint development in order to build up intellectual and innovative potential. Based on the comparative analysis and comparison of data from open scientific publications and the most famous world and Russian ratings, the paper studies Russian cities and universities, which occupy a leading position in the country in the field of education from the viewpoint of their attractiveness for education at the national and global levels. The peculiarities of the most attractive Russian cities for education are outlined. The necessity of stimulating the demand for innovative education on the part of urban business structures within the Triple Helix concept is highlighted.
