Drought, famine and border conflict all plague Ethiopia and hinder its education system from developing. Over the last few years in particular, education spending has been drastically reduced due to extremely high military expenditure. As part of the government’s Education Sector Plan, school monitoring, gender- sensitive instructional materials in regional languages and water and sanitation projects have been integrated into education reform to improve the conditions at school for girls, as well as projects of income - generation to encourage low-income families to send their daughters to school.
