Human development faces nowadays the challenges of knowledge society and requires a broadened educational approach sustained by the extension of the learning contexts. Competency-Based Education and Training which is an approach to teaching and learning more often used in learning concrete skills than abstract learning has been identified as the best curriculum that will empower the global community with skilled and competent individuals. The Ministry of National Education in Cameroon introduced the Competency-Based Teaching after the National Education Seminar held in Yaoundé in 2002 revealed an increase in the repetition rate of primary school children to the tune of 41%per an academic year which is far contrary to the expectations of the Jomtien Declaration of 2000. Since then the education family in the country has been investigating the best strategies amidst challenges in the implementation of the CBC. This study sought to appraise the implementation of the CBC from the perspective of teacher’s use of resourcesThe study involved a descriptive analytic research design. A literature review surveys scholarly articles, books and other sources relevant to a particular issue, area of research, or theory, and by so doing, providing a description, summary, and critical evaluation of these works. From findings, it was realized that a majority of teachers are still to understand what the CBC is all about. It was realized that even for those who have a good knowledge of the CBC effective implementation is still a major challenge in most situations because of insufficient resources as well as lack of in-depth knowledge on how to use these resources. It is therefore very imperative for educational stakeholders to brainstorm and ensure that teachers are well apt with knowledge on the effective implementation of the CBC as well as making all required resources available.It is only after this that we would be able to guarantee the effective implementation of the CBC as well as reaping the benefits thereof.
