Many children in Ethiopia suffer from the inability to get enrolled in education because of the deteriorating economic conditions and the severe poverty that a large number of them suffer from. Long distance to school also impede their ability to receive education.
Although Ethiopia has made significant progress in the education sector, 25% of children of official primary school ages are out of school and there is a large disparity between enrollment and dismissal due to economic conditions.
The literacy rate in Ethiopia is 55% among young people, which is lower than the average youth literacy rate in other low-income countries.
In this context, the NGO major group of Africa expresses its concern about the low status of education in Ethiopia and recommends the Ethiopian government to increase government spending on education.
