Place of diversity in the current Ethiopian education and training policy: Analysis of Cardinal dimensions

Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to investigate to what extent the diversity dimensions are addressed in the current Education and Training Policy. To that end, document analysis was employed. The major diversity dimensions were analyzed based on their cardinal features. The study demonstrated that there is an ambitious need to address issues of diversity into the Ethiopian Education and Training Policy. Nevertheless, there are missing dimensions in the document. Moreover, the specific elements of the dimensions are not exhaustively treated. Implications which are believed to advance fair representation of different groups based on the identified dimensions are indicated in the article.
