The inconsistency between the constitution and the education and training policy document on language issues
Abstract
The objective of this article was to scrutinize a policy contradiction between the Education Policy Document and the Constitution. Having this objective, the researcher used a case study design which analyzed a particular case using secondary data, such as constitutional and policy documents and published articles. The findings revealed that the 2023 Education Policy stands in sharp contrast to the Constitution and the Ethiopian Education Roadmap, and it might pose a significant threat to the nation's unity. This might happen due to the fact that the Education Policy Document was crafted within an ethnically influenced political context. The Ethiopian Education Policy needs to operate without the control of political decisions.
