Mechanizing Agriculture for more Product in Oromia

  If we aspire to enhance the contribution of agriculture to our economic growth, it is imperative to modernize our agricultural practices and broaden the range of available products. In the Oromia Regional State, the export of over 100 million quintals of wheat to global markets each year is a remarkable achievement. Various initiatives have yielded impressive results by diversifying agricultural crops like avocados, bananas, and tea leaves, turning them into valuable commodities. Notably, the avocado production initiative has significantly increased output and become a significant source of foreign currency. To ensure the success of the region's banana production project, selected banana seeds are being developed through tissue culture and made accessible to the public. With more than 7,000 banana plants already cultivated on over 2,000 hectares of land, an estimated 2.5 million more are expected to be planted this year.

Education Level in Oromia 

The Oromia Education Bureau has taken significant strides in enhancing the quality of education within the region by implementing a series of initiatives.


One of these initiatives involves the construction of Bu’uura Boruu Primary Schools and Ifa Boruu Secondary Schools, aimed at providing improved educational facilities for students. Additionally, the bureau has introduced a meal program for primary and secondary school students in grades 1 to 4, ensuring they have proper nourishment to support their learning.


Another key aspect of their efforts is to foster community participation in education development activities. By involving local communities, the bureau seeks to create a collaborative and supportive environment for educational growth.


Furthermore, the Oromia Education Bureau has successfully established 9,000 Bu’uura Boruu schools in the past two years, displaying their commitment to expanding access to quality education. Looking ahead, they have ambitious plans to construct an additional 6,000 schools this year, and already, 4,378 schools have been completed and are now operational.


These concerted efforts by the Oromia Education Bureau demonstrate their dedication to elevating the standards of education in the region and ensuring a brighter future for the students.

Addressing the lack of access to quality secondary education in Oromia has been a pressing concern. In 2013, determined efforts were undertaken to tackle this issue, resulting in the completion of 100 Ifa Boru secondary schools within an impressive timeframe of 5 to 7 months. This remarkable accomplishment sets an example of effective practice.

To foster the growth of talented students in various districts and cities, the establishment of Special Boarding Secondary Schools in Oromia has been deemed essential. Students who excel in the grade 8 examination are selected to attend these schools. Currently, 40 such schools are in progress, with 33 already completed. The enrolled students consist of 1,481 9th-grade and 10th-grade students, among whom there are 768 females and 793 males for 9th grade, and 1,195 males and 823 females for 10th grade.

Recognizing the significance of Gadaa education, the curriculum now incorporates it. Moreover, a revised selection process for teachers entering these schools has been put in place, accompanied by changes in training content and methodologies. Standards have been meticulously prepared for all levels of schooling, and individuals with substantial knowledge and experience in education have been carefully chosen and provided with ample training to offer exemplary leadership services. These efforts demonstrate a commitment to enhancing the educational landscape in Oromia, paving the way for a brighter future for its students.
