ASDEPO In Education
Ethiopia is the second-most populous country in Africa after Nigeria with a population of 105 million. It’s also one of the least developed countries (LDCs) in the world, ranked 173rd among 189 countries on the United Nations’ Human Development Index. Like other low-income countries in Africa, Ethiopia presently faces the enormous challenge of creating a more inclusive and efficient education system amid rapid population growth. Compared with other sub-Saharan African countriesDespite Ethiopia’s booming economy, the country’s education system remains underdeveloped and plagued by low participation rates and quality problems—a situation partially owed to Ethiopia having been deprived of economic development for decades. As the World Bank has noted, Ethiopia was “one of the most educationally disadvantaged countries in the world” for much of the 20th century, because of armed conflict, famines, and humanitarian crises.

According to UNICEF report in 2019 about Ethiopia’s Education in Emergencies, There are currently 1.7 million displaced children in Ethiopia; most are of school-age (approximately 1.39 million) and require educational services. The sheer numbers of IDP children and adolescents have overwhelmed efforts to provide for their schooling, as their situation leads to further strain on already overstretched host education systems. Providing education is necessary to deliver early peace dividends and a return to normalcy for children. However, few of the temporary settlement sites provide education services, with less than 50 per cent of children accessing education in 417 of 965 IDP sites. To continue their education, many children have been attending school in host communities which often overwhelms local schools as they are unable to support the sudden influx of students. Furthermore, approximately 62 per cent of IDP children are in camps located a considerable distance from the host schools (over 1 km) and therefore encounter more challenges in accessing educational opportunities.
