News from frontline

Yeenatu Lij / Abel Tadesse is interviewed. According to the news of World Education, rapid development in recent decades has overwhelmed the system, resulting in a large number of new concerns such as budgetary restrictions and low educational quality. Despite a tremendous success in the expansion of educational access, some observers now consider the educational system of Ethiopia as in crisis, despite quantitative increases in areas such as registration. In primary school, there is a stagnation in the quality of learning and results.

Educational institutions are regularly examined by directors and other officials in countries that are considered to provide reasonably high quality education. Ethiopian educational institutions strive to learn from these nations. The Department of Education has allowed private educational institutions to increase registration fees once a year, up to a maximum of 25% above inflation. It is expected that the annual growth of enrollment costs is temporarily suspended, but the content demands of the students will rise.
