History, Geography and Civic and Moral Education Exam - BEPC Session 2018

This document presents the official History-Geography-Civic and Moral Education (ECM) examination from the BEPC (Brevet d'Etudes du Premier Cycle) 2018 session, along with its complete answer key. The exam covers two major disciplines: History and Civic and Moral Education, each structured in two distinct parts.

In History, Part A focuses on knowledge verification (9 points) and is divided into two sections. The knowledge assessment requires candidates to define fundamental concepts such as settlement colony and referendum, then answer course questions about British achievements in Cameroon during the mandate period and about nationalists in French-speaking Black Africa. The skills verification evaluates students' ability to place events on a timeline, match Cameroonian resistance fighters to their regions of resistance against German colonization, and identify Allied and Axis powers during World War II.

Part B of History, dedicated to competency verification (9 points), presents a problem-based scenario in which the student must raise awareness among villagers about the need for harmonious coexistence after a conflict between hunters from neighboring villages. Candidates must analyze documents about the human and material toll of World War II and the creation of the United Nations, then propose concrete measures for peace.

In Civic and Moral Education, Part A covers definitions such as ballot and trade union, questions about Cameroon's executive power and types of democracy, as well as practical exercises on the electoral process and trade union organizations. Part B presents a problem scenario about citizens' indifference toward political life and asks candidates to identify the stages of an election and the advantages of popular involvement in politics.
