The Ethiopian education system is structured into three levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary education is compulsory and lasts for eight years, from age 7 to 14. Secondary education is divided into two cycles: the first cycle lasts for two years and the second cycle lasts for two years. Tertiary education includes universities, colleges, and vocational schools.

Despite progress made in expanding access to education, Ethiopia still faces significant challenges in terms of quality and equity. The country has a high rate of student dropout, particularly among girls, due to poverty, early marriage, and lack of access to educational resources. There is also a shortage of qualified teachers and inadequate infrastructure, particularly in rural areas.

The Ethiopian health system has also made progress in recent years, but faces many challenges. The country has a high burden of communicable diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS, as well as non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Maternal and child health is also a major concern, with high rates of maternal and infant mortality.

The Ethiopian government has made efforts to improve the health system, including expanding access to healthcare services, increasing the number of healthcare workers, and investing in healthcare infrastructure. However, there is still a shortage of healthcare workers, particularly in rural areas, and inadequate healthcare facilities.
