Ethiopian TVET System
Model Curriculum
Preface
The reformed Ethiopian 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 Ethiopian Occupational Standards (EOS).
This curriculum has been developed by a group of experts from different Regional
TVET-Authorities based on the Ethiopian Occupational Standard Basic Electronics
Communication and Multimedia Equipment It has the character of a model
curriculum and is an example on how to transform the occupational requirements
as defined in the respective Ethiopian 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.
TVET-Program Design

Institutional Assessment
Two types of evaluation will be used in determining the extent to which 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’.
