12ኛ ክፍል ቀርቶ ትምህርት 13ኛ ክፍል ሆነ። 100,000 የወደቁ ተማሪዎች ሌላ 13ኛ አመት ተምረው ኮሌጅ ሊገቡ እንደ ሆነ ይነገራል።
Although it is a practice to required college under ready students to take remedial courses before they advance taking gateway courses, this much size of student population is never heard and is bizarre. ምናልባትም ይህ ነገር ሌላው የኦሮሙማ ብልጽግና የኮሌጅ መግብያ ዕድል ማጅራት ለመምታት የተዘጋጀ ስልት ይሆናል።

The term “dropout” is most often used in reference to students who abandon education before earning a high school diploma or General Educational Development certificate. The United States’ dropout rate has been on the rise, with more than 1.2 million students failing to complete high school each year.

vocational training is far better to the majority than perusing academic education in universities.The country needs skilled labour force in so many fields than university graduates seeking sedentary jobs.

---In the United States there are more than 4,000 accredited colleges and universities. As there are selective colleges, there are also quite many open admission colleges that do not require scholastic test results such ad SAT and ACT ( equivalents of ESLCE). The course offerings of each college is different even in the same field of study. Unless it is changed now, in the case of Ethiopia, despite new colleges opened everywhere, their course offering is an exact copy of Addis Ababa - the difference was place change, not curriculum change. The course were not innovative and do not ready students for gainful employment or entrepreneurship. High school drop out is an issue in the U.S. but in the case of Ethiopia it is not the high school dropout but the government fully/willingly withdrew its attention. Schools are taken as political hostage.

--- Overall what is worrisome in the Ethiopian case is: 1) The absence of employment opportunity ( the only single most employer is the government - and the government wants cadres
2) The cumulative effects of loss of well educated professors and the poor curriculum system that handicapped both students and teachers is very problematic.
