Ethiopia, which is said to have many values ​​for social cohesion, has not worked on its education system, especially since the children who are currently in education are better in various subjects and skills, but the study has shown that they are weak in social values.

 

It is said that if people are weak in social values ​​and human development, their chances of trusting and agreeing with each other are narrow.

 

Employers organize trainings to improve the knowledge and skills of their employees. 

 

They also try to increase their productivity and competitiveness.

 

Although human development work done in this way can help achieve the intended goal, experts in the field say that it is not enough on its own.

 

One of these professionals, Professor Yilma Gebremariam, points out that the way people develop common values ​​should also be considered. 

 

Professor Yilma, a professor at the Southern Connecticut State University, said that social development is the shared values ​​and cultural ties that people have and that it is closely linked to human development.

 

Professor Yilma told us that he conducted a study to find out how human development and social development are being taught in secondary schools in Addis Ababa.

 

He said that 472 natural and social science students from ten secondary schools participated in the study. 

 

The results showed that students were better in skills and knowledge, which are manifestations of human development.

 

However, he mentioned that their results were low in solidarity and social cohesion.

 

Professor Yilma said that the issue is also related to the country's economic growth.

 

People cannot be productive just because they have knowledge and skills; they should use that knowledge with common values ​​and goals, he said.

 

Professor Yilma also said that moral and civic education should be given in a strong manner to increase the knowledge of social development among young people in schools.

 

However, he said that the education should not be loaded with political ideology as it was in the past.

 

Professor Yilma asked education experts to pay special attention to the curriculum design, recognizing the seriousness of the issue.

 

He said that the government should also understand that the contribution of social development is high for the economic growth it intends to achieve.

 

The professor added that the results will not be visible immediately, but it is important to know.

 

We have also heard that Ethiopia's level of social development is among the lowest in the world.
