The number of woreda officers and of supervisors<br />

with diploma and with degree in the emerging<br />

regions will double by 2014/15<br />

Some strategies have as an objective to further<br />

develop alternative models:<br />

❚ Establishing new / more ABE centers<br />

❚ Introducing or strengthening the<br />

alternative education modalities,<br />

such as: mobile schools, multi-grade<br />

classes, para-boarding schools,<br />

It is also important that the quality of education in<br />

the emerging regions improves, through:<br />

❚<br />

Providing Learning materials (such<br />

as exercise books, pen, pencil) and<br />

uniforms for the needy students,<br />

❚ Academic and professional upgrading<br />

of facilitators,<br />

Strategies to incite more demand for education<br />

will include strengthening and/or introducing<br />

special support programs: such as school<br />

feeding and scholarship programs, with special<br />

attention for the indigenous children, girls and<br />

the vulnerable children.<br />

Finally, some strategies focus on strengthening<br />

the management of the education system through<br />

capacity building of officials and professionals at<br />

different level of the education structure, and<br />

through developing and implementing different<br />

implementation manuals and standards of<br />

alternative education modalities<br />

To increase enrolment<br />

and survival strategies<br />

can be grouped under<br />

those working on<br />

improving the supply of<br />

existing education some<br />

working on increasing the<br />

demand for education;<br />

and those working on<br />

developing management<br />

capacities of<br />

woreda staff and<br />

supervisors.<br />

3. Policy and strategies<br />

To increase enrolment and survival in general<br />

education in the emerging regions, several<br />

groups of strategies will be implemented<br />

during ESDP IV. These can be grouped under<br />

those working on improving the supply of<br />

existing education, both in terms of quantity<br />

and quality; some working on increasing the<br />

demand for education; and those working<br />

on developing management capacities of<br />

woreda staff and supervisors.<br />

Strategies to increase quantitative supply<br />

include those aimed at further developing<br />

the formal school system:<br />

❚ Transforming the existing ABE<br />

centers to formal / regular schools, in<br />

the relatively densely populated areas<br />

of pastoral / agro- pastoral regions,<br />

❚<br />

❚<br />

Constructing new schools, specially<br />

2nd cycle primary schools,<br />

Expanding the existing primary<br />

schools – by constructing new<br />

classrooms,<br />
