This paper aims to implement the differences in academic performance between students in the francophone and anglophone education subsystems at primary level in Cameroon. Using data from the Programme d’Analyse des Systèmes Educatifs de la Confemen organised in 2014, the study employs a two-stage modelling approach. Firstly, the estimation of educational production functions by OLS shows that student characteristics and school context are important determinants of students achievement in the anglophone and francophone subsystems. Second, the Oaxaca-Blinder (1973) decomposition method showed that at the end of the primary school year, students in the francophone education subsystem perform better than those in the anglophone subsystem. The share of explained factors contributes to increase this differential to more than 100% in both mathematics and language, therefore, it does not matter how much the unexplained share is given, it does not suggest the existence of discrimination in school performance towards the anglophone subsystem.
