ECBP Ethiopia II – Training of vocational school teachers in Ethiopia
A vocational education and training system is to be developed in Ethiopia, comprising, amongst other elements, a three-tier system of vocational training in industrial and technical trades. Depending on the duration (six months to four years) and the balance between theoretical and practical components of the training, there are to be three different types of vocational college teachers.
C-level teachers receive several weeks of highly practical training, whilst a six-semester Bachelor’s degree programme is planned for B-level teachers. As part of this project, this degree programme – which was also developed with the support of the ITB – is to be followed by a consecutive Master’s programme designed to train so-called A-level vocational school teachers. The ITB’s contribution comprises the development of the curricula and other regulatory documents, such as the admissions regulations, examination regulations and placement regulations. A further focus is on conducting a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and, building on this, the planning and implementation of continuing professional development measures for Ethiopian university lecturers.
