The EPL Returns

Image
The Ethiopian Premier League (EPL) returned to action on Friday after a one month break with Defense and Welayta Dicha coming out victorious.  At Abebe Bikila Stadium on Friday, Defense defeated Electric with two second half goals while Dicha are now level on points with second placed St. George with a 1-0 win against Dashen Beer in Gondar. The rest of the fixture of Week 14 will continue on Saturday as league leaders Sidama take on Muger Cement. Sidama, who led the table for much of the first round, will hope to continue on their exciting campaign. But Muger, playing at home in Assella, will pose a serious test to the league leaders. The last time the two teams met in the league, Sidama edged it with a narrow 1-0 victory at home. In Addis Ababa, St. George will play against Adama City at Abebe Bikila Stadium on Saturday. St. George fans and players are still reeling in anguish after their exit from the African Champions League losing to the Algerian side MC El Eulma at Bahi

Top Ethiopian Universities Of 2015: The Latest Ranking

Image
4. Hawassa University (World rank: 9812) A recent global ranking of the top 32 universities in Ethiopia for 2015 has been made public, and the result is something unconnected to what we have seen previous years. It appears that some Universities who were not excited with their formal position in 2014 have worked harder to make sure that they reach the top of the list in order to be ranked among the best. Based on WebometricsRanking of World Universities, some of the universities that were ranked higher in Ethiopia as at 2014, are no longer worthy of the title and as such, we have other leading schools. Check below to see the latest positions of all the 32 universities that made the list and also their world ranking. The ranking was done based on four very important factors which include their Presence, rate of Impact, Openness and Academic excellence. 1. Addis Ababa University (World rank: 1803) 2. Jimma University (World rank: 3784) 3. Mekelle University (World rank: 6647) 4. Hawas

Ethiopia: Better for Tertiary Education Policy to Focus On Quality

It seems that the Revolutionary Democrats are lumbering for yet another big investment push in the education sector. Their recent announcement of a plan to build 11 new public universities across the country certainly is something that took everyone by surprise. It not only is such a bold promise, but also brings the age-old debate on higher education back to the policy space. Improving access to education has been the policy prerogative of the ruling Revolutionary Democrats. They have been firm on the agenda regardless of the vicious critics their very calculation has exposed them to. Of course, it would be naive to conclude that their policy presumptions have only been economic. The technocratic approach to development that the Revolutionary Democrats subscribe to advocates for selling development solutions as economic remedies. It is after peeling the economic rationales away that one could see the political imperatives of the policy measures. It is no different with higher ed
