Nine million Ethiopian children have been forced out of school
More than nine million Ethiopian children are currently out of school. They are caught in the crossfire of armed conflicts, natural disasters, tribal tensions and economic hardships.
In 2023, Ethiopia had a total school-aged population of 35,444,482 children, about 52 per cent of them primary school-aged. In the same year, only 22,949,597 children were enrolled in schools, leaving over 35 per cent of school-aged children out of school. In the past year, the ongoing humanitarian crisis has worsened the situation, forcing even more children out of school.
Armed conflict erupted in 2020 between the Federal Government and Tigray regional government. The crisis was compounded by armed resistance to the government in the two largest regional states, Amhara and Oromia. There are also ongoing conflicts between the pastoralist communities of the Afar and Somali regions.
The Tigray war drained the nation’s economic resources. The destruction of infrastructure, particularly schools, in this conflict forced over a million children out of school. Since then conflict in the nine regions has also undermined government control, causing widespread disruptions to essential services, including education and healthcare.
Most recently, natural disasters, including earthquakes in the eastern parts of the country, have displaced tens of thousands of civilians, including children.
Scale of the crisis
The numbers tell the story. As of November 2024, around 10,000 schools were damaged and over 6,000 schools were closed due to conflict, violence and natural disasters. The worst hit regions are Amhara, Oromia, Tigray, Somali and Afar.
In three of these – Amhara, Oromia and Tigray – a total of 8,910,000 children are out of school. Amhara is particularly hard hit with only 2.3 million students enrolling for the current academic year out of seven million.
When children are not in school and miss out on learning, the consequences are far-reaching. At a personal level, disrupted education hinders their cognitive, social and emotional development. It limits their ability to acquire skills needed for personal growth and future employment. At the societal level, a lack of education drives cycles of poverty, reduces economic productivity and weakens social cohesion. Under-educated citizens are less equipped to take an active part in civic life. It also stifles innovation, worsens inequalities and holds back national progress and stability.
Despair and hopelessness have driven countless young people from Ethiopia to risk their lives on dangerous migration routes to the Middle East. The loss of educational opportunities for millions of children also undermines the nation’s capacity to develop the human capital needed for its growth. An uneducated population is more susceptible to being drawn into ongoing conflict.

Fifi,
Your problem is that you think you have a country. Do you know that the city of Addis Ababa has 3X times the total population of pooritrea? Do you know that there are more people in west Addis Ababa than the entire pooritrea? Do you know that the number of people that attend school in Ethiopia in any given day ኢስ more than 10X times the total population of pooritrea. Fifi - why do you deceive yourself? You are nothing. Ethiopia is an ocean and you can't even fully comprehend what Ethiopia is. IF Amara children are out of school, then talk your ተላላኪ ፌክ ነጻ አውጪ !!
Ethiopia is a giant beyond your reach! ራስክን የምታታልል ቁንጫ!!!
