Characteristics and Implications of Age-Grade. Distortion in the Ethiopian Primary Education

Abstract

Ethiopia is currently facing numerous educational challenges of access,
quality and equity in distribution. In line with the directives of the Education
and Training Policy introduced. in 1994, concerted plans and actions of
change have been taking place related to educational structure, curriculum
teacher education, medium of instruction, instructional materials, educational
administration, school governance, teacher motivation and other aspects of
educational development.
Due to these actions of changes the impeding problems of education are
being successfully tackled and thus the future prospect of the sector is now
brighter than ever before. Some problems that seetP to linger for sometime,
whatever measures are taken, need to be properly acknowledged and
addressed to. Such problems if appreciated by all stakeholders could better
be tackled in the actual classroom teaching learning process.
