Corruption and Higher Institutions in Ethiopia!

Sunday, March 4th, 2012

The EPRDF government has done a wonderful job in expanding higher institution in the country over the last 20 years. There are now over 10 universities that are well established and many

more that have been established over the last few years. As in any expansion of such magnitude there will be all kind of challenges. It is expected the new universities to face challenges ranging from staffing human resources and rendering quality education. But universities like Mekelle, Awasa, Jimma, Addis, Bahirdar, Gondar, Nazeret, Arba Minch and Alamaya are   well established where the country depends for a skilled, disciplined and professional workforce. It is heartbreaking to the say the least the above mentioned universities may have issues with corruption and cronyism. The question we have for former students and employees of these institutions is what has been your experience in lieu of the recent news about MU. A year ago we received a letter alleging the then president of AAU. Before we even digest the email letter the AAU president resigned. Share your thoughts in this open forum to create awareness to say the least. Have your say!
