Martha M. A. Zama, PhD, obtained a Bachelor of Science in Education/ Zoology and Master of Education in Curriculum and Methodology degrees from the University of Nigeria Nsukka, and a PhD in Curriculum Studies and Teaching from the University of Buea. After 15 years of secondary school teaching in Nigeria and Cameroon, she moved to the Ministry of Higher Education in Cameroon serving primarily as a member of the university administration, and an adjunct lecturer in teacher education establishments and departments at the universities of Buea and Bamenda, spanning various periods. For 23 years, she taught courses in Curriculum and Pedagogy at both undergraduate and graduate levels and co-supervised several M. Ed dissertations. Commitment and passion for teaching opened her up to several opportunities as a participant and resource person in local, and national curriculum and teaching workshops, conferences, and commissions.

She is now retired from administrative duties and close to 40 years of classroom teaching but continues to work as an independent scholar.
