Ethiopian youth is doomed, unless it changes course urgently!

Post by DefendTheTruth » 02 May 2025, 15:56

A glimpse of the reality can be gained by just looking at what the so called "Ethio-Coders" Initiative example shows.

It was planned to train over 5 Million youth over a period of 3 years, which was launched last July, almost a year. The number of registered trainees is around 700K so far, way behind the quota for a year.
Worse yet those who have managed to certify themselves in the courses they have trained in are over 200K, less than half of those who have actually registered.

From those who have managed to attain the certification are just over 45K that have managed to get an employment opportunity else where outside of the country.

This doesn't reflect any rosy picture of the whole, the youth should now take this as a wake-up call and work harder, else you are doomed to fail in the strictly competitive world economic order. If you are not competent, you will lose, you will not be competent unless you gain the necessary education, you can't get the needed education, unless you work hard.

Wake up the youth!

Thank za lord that 5 million did not go into coding program

How on earth can coding be profitible in ethiopia?

Which businesses can even hire that many youths it will become useless

Ayyy
Ayy

Mehayim even in the west new coders struggle to find jobs

So their should be less coders way below 500k

Rather the govt should be training future doctors and teachers, engineers and other industries that can develop the country.

Coding cannot develop a poor nation like ethiopia. A country still laking paved roads and good teachers.

45,000 succeeded out of 200,000

That is only a 22% success rate for 200k trainees

I don't think you get the idea, despite of your rush to comment. If you think you are rife in the topic here, then join me for a short ride under the topic I have opened before a couple of years in this forum:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=254478

If you admit that you are not yet ready for that, then study the stuff there well again and again until it starts to percolate the thick head over your body, is my advice for your own gain.
