day is a pleasant and joyful day because it is a day on which one has

instrument to combat against social and natural problems. Your
education at ________TVET institute, college, University (polytechnic)
must have created the preliminary awareness some problems. The key to
open door problems and have a better insight is to further study to have a
qualitative understanding of our environment in order to exploit it better.
The difference between developed and developing nations is the level of
their concern on producing human capital development through
education. However, there is a high interest in most of the developing
nations, including Ethiopia, to give in to the call for immediate action
and concern in this regard. Thus, the developing countries to be effective

4. and achieve millennium development goals / MDGs / the only option
should focus on education.
Due to this fact, the government of Ethiopia has established a new
educational reform to meet the challenges of education for enhancing
sustainable development by producing skilled work force that can go in
line with the world of work or that can fill the gap of emerging current
market demand of the country.
Among these educational reforms, the TVET reform is one of the efforts
done to sustain development by means of amending the TVET policy
and strategy to be “Outcome Based” and “Demand driven”.
In order to achieve these, the government of Ethiopia in its GTP II gives
due emphasis for the expansion of TVET institutes in the country to take
a paramount role for the implementation of the reform and supporting
TVET system for the coming five years.
The sector achieved long lasting attainment and confirmed sustainable
development that the key to the system. I would like to add one proverb
with related to education “If you give a man a fish you feed him for a
day”, but if you teach him how to fish you feed him forever”.
This institution also opened to fulfill the above interesting idea work for
our country particularly for youth and adults supporting government
intention as a nation contribution.
