Department of Economics Education

Overview

The Department of Economics Education at Kotebe University of Education is committed to excellence in education and research. The department is dedicated to playing a crucial role in equipping students with fundamental economic principles, theories, and analytical skills necessary for understanding and addressing economic challenges. Kotebe University of Education, originally established as Kotebe College of Teacher Education, transitioned into a university in 2016, expanding its academic offerings and research initiatives. The Department of Economics Education is part of this broader mission, providing students with a strong foundation in both microeconomics and macroeconomics, as well as insights into market structures, consumer behavior, development policies, and practices.

The department emphasizes real-world applications, particularly within the Ethiopian economic context, ensuring that students gain practical knowledge alongside theoretical understanding. With a focus on academic rigor, research, and professional development, the department aims to prepare graduates for careers in economics, education, and policymaking. Following the university’s change into a mission of training educators, the Economics Education degree program has gained strong attraction of students, an impetus for upcoming admission cycles. Through a blend of rigorous academic instruction and practical application, we equip students and educators with the skills to excel in economics and make a meaningful impact on the nexus between education and the economy. In addition to the academic programs, the department provides specialized training programs for industry professionals and educators, ensuring they stay updated with the latest theories, analytical models.
