Oromia Ministry et 2016 Result Grade 6

 

The 2007 census yielded results showing that Oromo’s population share increased from 35 to 37 percent of Ethiopia’s total population, while Amhara’s share fell from 25.9 to 23.3 percent. According to the official 2007 census report, the percentage shares of the national population in the Oromia and Southern People Regions have increased slightly since 1994, while the Amhara Region’s percentage share of the national population has decreased from 25.9 to 23.3 percent.

 

The current population estimates for 2022 were extrapolated from the results of the 2007 Census. Oromo’s share increases to 38 percent, while Amhara’s share decreases even further to 22 percent from 23.3 percent. Based on census data, Oromo had 4.9 million more people living there in 1994 than Amhara. Based on data from the 2007 census, Oromo had 9.8 million more people living there than Amhara. Projected population figures for 2022 show that Oromo has 17.2 million more people living there than Amhara.

 

Now let’s look at how well Amhara and Oromo schools are able to get their students ready for the future.

 

According to the results of the most recent high school leaving standardized exam, Ola boarding school in Oromo, three schools in Amhara (Dessie boarding, Bahirdar STEM, and Gonder Community College), and one in Addis (Kotebe) were the country’s top five performing schools.

 

The average scores for each topic broken down by area are listed below. Addis Ababa (38.16%), Southern People (28.17), Oromo (27.96%), Sidama (28.34), Amhara (30.37%), Harari (32.88), Dire Dawa (31.42%), and Addis Ababa (38.46%) are the remaining groups.

 

Addis (19.8%), Harari (10.5%), Dire Dawa (6.7%), and Amhara (3.6%) all performed better than the 3.3% national average. Oromo’s 2.0% is lower than the average for the country. This is lower than the 2.3% registration of Sidama.

 

An additional fact is that 263 pupils obtained a natural science grade of 600 or higher. Of them, 117 were from Addis, 70 from Amhara, and 51 from Oromo. Even though Amhara has millions fewer people than Oromo, 35 percent more children in Amhara receive higher grades in natural science than Oromo. It is logical to assume that the proportion of school-age individuals to the overall population is nearly equal in the Amhara and Oromo tribal regions.

 

Although specific data was not provided, the regions that performed the best in terms of the number of students receiving good scores in social science were Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Harar, Amhara, and Oromia. Once again, Oromo is falling behind Amhara. In every publicly available data point, Oromo performed worse than Amhara.

 

I don’t think the remedial program is helpful because it doesn’t deal with the problem.

 

All of the aforementioned problems demonstrate how increasingly tribalized the country’s educational system is becoming. Twelve years of below-average academic performance cannot be resolved by the institution’s one-year remedial program. The figures show that Oromo’s overall average is 27.96%. Amhara’s 30.37% isn’t much better. This suggests that the average student scores for both tribal territories were in the lower range of F.

 

Stated differently, the recommended course of action is to merely pack classrooms with students who have no business being there. It is not reasonable to expect a student who received a 28% to pass the remedial course and gain admission to a college. A very small percentage of students may be able to raise their grades. The majority won’t. This phenomenon is well known in the field of international studies. The Ethiopian Ministry of Education has a plethora of information to substantiate this. How many students retook the course and obtained a passing score after failing the first round of the national examinations for grades 6 and 8?

 

Feeling sorry for the victims—the students—is not the solution. The focus should be primarily on the tens of millions of people who are in the pipeline. The response from the Ministry of Education was politically motivated. It’s time to seize the opportunity, as it were.
