LEVEL-I
Based on
Occupational Standard (OS)
Ethiopian TVET System Curriculum
Preface
The reformed TVET-System is an outcome-based system. It utilizes the needs of the labor market
and occupational requirements from the world of work as the benchmark and standard for TVET
delivery. The requirements from the world of work are analyzed and documented taking into
account international benchmarking as occupational standards (OS).
In the reformed TVET-System, curricula and curriculum development play an important role with
regard to quality driven TVET-Delivery. Curricula help to facilitate the learning process in a way,
that trainees acquire the set of occupational competences (skills, knowledge and attitude) required
at the working place and defined in the occupational standards (OS). Responsibility for Curriculum
Development will be given to the Regional TVET-Authorities and TVET-Providers.
This curriculum has been developed by a group of experts from different Regional TVET-
Authorities based on the occupational standard for Animal Health Care workers. It has the
character of a model curriculum and is an example on how to transform the occupational
requirements as defined in the respective occupational standard into an adequate curriculum.
The curriculum development process has been actively supported and facilitated by the Ministry of
Education – in line with one of its mandates to provide technical support to the regions – and by
the TVET-Reform Component of the Engineering Capacity Building Program.

actual practice. These modalities will be utilized before the trainees are exposed to the industry
environment.

learning outcomes are achieved. The specific learning outcomes are stated in
the modules. In assessing them, verifiable and observable indicators and
standards shall be used
The formative assessment is incorporated in the learning modules and form

part of the learning process. Formative evaluation provides the learner with
feedback regarding success or failure in attaining learning outcomes. It
identifies the specific learning errors that need to be corrected, and provides
reinforcement for successful performance as well. For the trainer/facilitator,
formative evaluation provides information for making instruction and remedial
work more effective.
Summative Evaluation the other form of evaluation is given when all the
modules in the unit of competence have been accomplished. It determines
the extent to which competence have been achieved. And, the result of this
assessment decision shall be expressed in the term ‘competent or not yet
competent’.
Techniques or tools for obtaining information about learners’ achievement
include oral or written test, demonstration and field observation.
