Monday, 23 August 2010 12:01
The Executive Director of the Board, Dr. Tadesse Mehari, indicated that the
Government has been extending the necessary support to the newly opened 7
colleges in the country in a bid to upgrade their competence in the
provision of the First Degree program. He explained that the colleges are
now ready to offer post-graduate programs in diverse areas of study and
added that staff members of the colleges currently working as graduate
assistants would be soon sent to various countries of Asia, Europe and
others to pursue Masters course.
Dr. Tadesse further pointed out that the Masters program by sending
nationals abroad would be undertaken in two forms involving full government
expense's that would begin in the coming year on the one hand, and that of
scholarship in which the Government would cover partial expense on the
other.
Moreover, he stated that there are plans to offer post-graduate educational
opportunities to nationals working in ministries and other government
institutions through sending them abroad or distance learning, and that the
opportunity would be provided shortly after the necessary preparations are
finalized.
Dr. Tadesse went on to say that following the finalization of post-graduate
programs, doctorate study programs would be launched through sending limited
number of individuals abroad. As a result, in the coming 5 to 6 years,
teaching-learning process would be fully undertaken by nationals, which in
turn would give rise to big success.
