One.org – Ethiopia’s Progress in Education<\/a><\/strong>
\nOne Living Proof is\u00a0Living Proof is a showcase of stories that are too often ignored – the incredible progress being achieved by some of the world’s poorest people. The Key Messages in the article are:<\/p>\n

1. Access to education in Ethiopia has improved significantly. Approximately 3 million pupils were in primary school in 1994\/95. By 2008\/09, primary enrolment had risen to 15.5 million \u2013 an increase of over 500%.<\/p>\n

2. Progress has been enabled through a sustained government-led effort to reduce poverty and expand the public education system equitably. This has been backed by substantial increases in national education expenditure and aid to the sector, as well as improved planning and implementation capacity at all levels.<\/p>\n

3. Increased regional and local autonomy and community participation have also had a key role in expanding access to education across the country.

\nThinking Maps, developed by Dr. David Hyerle, are visual teaching tools\u00a0that foster and encourage lifelong learning. They are based on a simple\u00a0yet profound insight: The one common instructional thread that binds\u00a0together all teachers, from pre-kindergarten through postgraduate, is\u00a0that they all teach the same thought processes.<\/p>\n

Based on thorough and well-accepted academic study and brain research,\u00a0the eight Thinking Map tools correspond with eight fundamental thinking\u00a0processes.<\/p>\n

Thinking Maps, Inc. is committed to improving the quality of teaching and learning through the effective implementation of Thinking Maps in schools and school districts around the world. Through quality training, materials and support services, we will equip learning communities with the tools necessary to become successful thinkers, problem solvers, decision makers, and ultimately, lifelong learners.

USAID to Launch Five-Year Ethiopian Education Endeavor
\n20 July 2011
\nA preliminary five-year plan to improve Ethiopia’s educational system was released today by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The draft Statement of Work (SOW) outlines what the agency expects to accomplish via the Reading for Ethiopia\u2019s Achievement Developed (READ) project, which seeks to improve the reading and writing skills of elementary school students.<\/p>\n

According to the draft SOW:\u00a0The overall program will have four components: curriculum improvement, pedagogical techniques, appropriate technology and teaching aids, and co\u2010curricular activity and community outreach. In addition, an evaluation project is expected to conduct mid\u2010term and final evaluations of the complete READ program to determine the impact of the program intervention.
