Kotebe University of Education held its 13th Annual Research Symposium organized by the Research and Community Services V/President Office on May 16, 2022.
Dr Berhanemeskel Tena, the President of KUE, noted in his opening speech that instilling a research culture in a university plays a great role in the creation of knowledge as well as transferring it to the next generation. Underlining the highly interrelated relationship that exists between research and education (teaching), Dr Berhanemeskel opined that a good researcher could be a good teacher, implying the fact that engaging in research enhances the quality of education. Besides, the curriculum, which is being developed afresh in our university, aimed to produce a variety of experts in different disciplines by placing special emphasis on the quality of education, and our university is lucky as there are competent teachers who can translate this goal into reality, said the President.
KUE’s V/President for Research and Community Service, Dr Tena Bekele, on his part, pointed out that the primary purpose of a research symposium is enabling the staff to engage in academic dialogue and create a platform for their academic promotion as these exercises help them to establish an academic network with the conference participants.
Thirteen research works were presented in the symposium both in the morning and afternoon sessions.
