SOME TRENDS IN REGIONAL DISPARITIES IN PRIMARY SCHOOL PARTICIPATION IN ETHIOPIA
Abstract
Since 1973/74. vast strides have been made to democratize education and increase regional participation rates in primary education .Despite the efforts made however. disparities have widened and widened in a zonal nature. denoting the geographicaly distinct areas of north and south. The factors that underlie the problem seem to be distribution of missionary schools, economic differences in the regions and lack of stability in some of the northern regions. Whereas regional disparities in educational participation are very difficult to solve in isolation from the general socio-economic inequalities, a reassessment of the resource allocation and positive discrimination towards the deprived areas seems a timely measure.
