Skills and employment policies should be viewed together. The full value of one policy set is realized when it supports the objectives of the other. For investments in education and training to yield maximum benefit to workers, enterprises, and economies, countries’ capacities for coordination is critical in three areas: connecting basic education to technical training and then to market entry; ensuring continuous communication between employers and training providers so that training meets the needs and aspirations of workers and enterprises, and integrating skills development policies with industrial, investment, trade, technology, environmental, rural and local development policies.

Under ESDP III, Ethiopia made significant progress in education. Access at all levels of the education system increased at a rapid rate in line with a sharp increase in the number of teachers, schools and institutions.

The achievements under ESDP III are fundamental to allow Ethiopia to progress towards becoming a middle-income economy by the year 2025. Challenges, however, remain in order to realize this long-term vision. Because of the progress made during the previous years and within this long-term vision, the focus of education policies under ESDP IV will shift towards priority programs which address these remaining challenges. This includes TVET and adult education.
