Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, Alumni, and Partners,

Welcome to the official website of Kotebe University of Education (KUE). It’s an honor to lead this unique institution, which serves as a cornerstone for improving the quality of education throughout Ethiopia.
At KUE, our mission is to elevate the entire educational landscape. We are committed to producing competent and effective education professionals by serving as a center of excellence and innovation in teaching and leadership. We do this by focusing on research-based approaches that are informed by global best practices but grounded in the specific needs of Ethiopia. We design and implement state-of-the-art curricula, instruction, and assessment systems to equip our graduates with the knowledge and skills needed to be true agents of positive change.
We are a flagship university dedicated exclusively to education. This specialization allows us to channel all our resources into developing cutting-edge research and pioneering innovative teaching practices. We also actively collaborate with local and international partners who share our vision, and together, we work to transform education. Our faculty members are not just academics; they are mentors committed to nurturing the next generation of educational leaders.
Our work is guided by our core values: student success, professionalism, innovation, excellence, integrity, diversity, and collaboration. These principles shape everything we do, from creating the highest quality learning environment to ensuring our graduates are prepared for the real-world challenges facing our country’s education system. We believe that education is the foundation of national development, and our unwavering focus on practical and relevant education ensures our graduates are prepared to lead with a deep sense of responsibility.
As we continue to grow, we are building a legacy of excellence that will resonate for years to come. I am incredibly proud of our community’s dedication and hard work. Together, we will build a brighter future for education in Ethiopia, one student at a time.
