Non – Formal TVET Mapping Survey The case of Amhara, Oromia and Addis Ababa SN Staff Type Addis Ababa Oromia Amhara 6. Special Support Staff Adequate 1 adequate, 5 inadequate Not adequate in all institutions 7. Assistant Trainers Adequate 1 adequate, 3 inadequate Not adequate in all institutions The table shows that training institutions in Addis Ababa have adequate number of support staff and trainers. Understandably, trained forces flock to Addis Ababa in pursuit of better life from all the smaller towns and rural areas. In contrast, a considerable number of the training institutions in Amhara and Oromia lack adequate number of support staff and trainers. In Oromia, to curb the problem of inadequate number of trainers and assistant trainers, Prison-Polices is being given training. Prisoners are also used as trainers. Both trainers and trainees make some money to support and satisfy their immediate need from the sale of their products.

It ranged 30% to 70% in a few cases too. This demonstrates that more time is invested on practice rather than on theory as expected. Except the beauty skills and decoration training, the training period for the other trades range between 5 months to 8 months. What is common to all is the weekly contact hour, which is 20 hours.

Non – Formal TVET Mapping Survey The case of Amhara, Oromia and Addis Ababa Oromia In prisons, trainings are given for two hours a day and ten hours per week for six months. The proportion of theory and practice ranges from 20% to 80%. CSTC give training for eight hours per week and the proportion of theory and practice is 25% and 75% respectively. Like in all the other cases, practice takes the majority of the training time. Amhara In the case of the Amhara region, the duration of training and the proportion of theory and practice vary across trades. There are trades whose duration of training is in the range of 30-40 hours, 200–300 hours and 400-500 hours. The proportion of theory and practice also varies depending on the nature of the trade. In some cases it is fifty-fifty. In other cases it is around 20 % and 80% or the vice versa respectively. Generally, most trades are practical and the proportion of theory and practice is in the range of 20-30% and 70-80% respectively 4.17. Trainees’ centeredness of training Most trainers claim that the training they give is based on market demand, training needs, institutional and trainers' capacity. The actual delivery of the training given is trainees centered. This is also acknowledged by most of the trainees. The very fact that most of the training is practical makes the training trainees centered since trainees are the main actors in the exercise. 4.18. Continuity of trainings given Amhara All institutions have not been giving training through out a year all the time. For example: Some Community Skill Training Centers had discontinued and restarted giving training due to policy change and transfer of management and ownership from the MOE to MSEDA. Nearly all are under utilized due to budget limitations. A very few private institutions couldn’t give training through out the year due to lack of students. For example, Proxy Computer Training Center had faced this problem. However, institutions giving training on driving, computers, hairdressing, woodwork, metal, weaving and pottery claim that it is need based. Addis Ababa: Two of the 12 institutions in Addis Ababa had discontinued giving training for five years and one year respectively. The Yeka Sub City NF-TVET had to stop giving training due to the problem of ownership between the Addis Ababa Education Bureau and the Bureau of Labor and Social affairs and the Akaki-Kaliti sub-city because of its own problem. Oromia: Three institutions discontinued giving training for one, two and ten years respectively. The major reasons given for this are lack of budget, lack of skilled trainers and the transition period in the change of government. Education Expertise Center Feb 2008 36
