Education and Technology – Transfer-Ethiopia

The purpose of education is to teach us values, develop stimulated intellect, understand tolerance for disagreeable belief systems, dig out opportunities to question what exists, and contribute to the growth of the human society.

Educational goal as stated in the UN Sustainable Development Goal-4 is ‘Access to quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all by 2030.’ Access to all levels of the education system in Ethiopia has increased at a rapid rate in line with sharp increases in the number of teachers, schools and institutions over the past decade. However, at the cost of quality and lack of uniformity of curricula across the different regions of the country.

Transfer-Ethiopia works with different stakeholders both locally and internationally to support Ethiopian education system in the country’s effort to achieve:
