On February 21, 2023, these 273 students received national recognition and prizes from Dr. Abiy Ahmed, Prime Minister of the Federation, Professor Birhanu Negana, Minister of Education, and Dr. Fanta Mandefro, Minister of State for General Education.
The Honourable Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced the same day that these pupils had earned a scholarship from the United Arab Emirates.
In 2022 This education opportunity received from friendly nations was made accessible to students in September/2024 in order to boost the reform of the examination system and to demonstrate the government’s particular attention to the education sector.
It will be more beneficial for them to spend the time until they go overseas attending English language development programmes and doing other preparations that will benefit them in the future.
One point to emphasise here is that the chance that these students have created is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to produce graduates, scientists, technologists, and leaders who will make us internationally competitive in the developing competitive world.
Furthermore, our pupils are the names and faces of the nations they have visited. When Ethiopian students compete with their talents and win at world-renowned colleges, the rest of the world will comprehend what education in Ethiopia is like. There is a strong idea that when people return to their nation and serve, it will assist our work move out of poverty and into wealth more swiftly.
The educational opportunity offered is fantastic. Students, however, do not take this chance for granted. It is a tremendous opportunity, which the honourable Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed has seized. As a result, it is beneficial to the nation to make the most of every student’s chance. It is vital to have everyone perform their share in the process.
However, if students believe they wish to study at a university in the nation, they are not required to do so.
