Description of the Office

Dear Visitors,

Welcome to Kotebe University of Education.

On October 6, 2021, the FDRE’s House of Representatives entrusted Kotebe University of Education with  unique and vital responsibility: to stand as the nation’s university of Education dedicated to the advancement of education. This wasn’t just an institutional recognition; it was a bold declaration of intent, a powerful response to the deep-rooted quality issues and complex historical, cultural, social, and political challenges that have long hampered Ethiopia’s educational progress. Kotebe embraced this formidable responsibility as a transformative calling. It envisions to nurture a generation of high-caliber educators across all disciplines of education, not just meeting the nation’s urgent need for qualified education workforce but also contributing to the global educational landscape.

The office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs is dedicated to delivering on this mandate by providing an unparalleled academic experience. We are committed to creating a dynamic learning environment that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to become transformative educators.

To accomplish this, our office is committed to:

  • Curriculum Innovation: Designing and implementing cutting-edge curricula that equip our students with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to excel in the 21st century.
  • Quality Instruction: Fostering a vibrant learning environment through exceptional teaching and mentorship, empowering our students to reach their full potential.
  • Faculty Development: Supporting our faculty in their professional growth through ongoing training, research opportunities, and leadership development.
  • Strong partnerships: collaborating with schools, communities, and other institutions to create a robust ecosystem for educational improvement.

We believe that by prioritizing these areas, we can create a dynamic and intellectually stimulating learning environment that prepares our graduates to become professional educators.

Our academic programs are meticulously designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to excel in diverse educational settings. Through our six colleges and institutes, we offer a comprehensive range of programs spanning educational sciences, languages, social sciences, business, technology, vocational education, science, mathematics, physical education and sport.

Beyond traditional academic pursuits, we are committed to lifelong learning and educational assessment. Our Institute of Lifelong Learning provides opportunities for continuous professional development, while our Institute of Educational Assessment, Testing, and Qualification ensures rigorous evaluation and testing in educational settings.

We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our academic programs and expertise. We are confident that you will be inspired by our vision for educational excellence. Your engagement is essential to our success. Together, we can shape the future of education in Ethiopia and beyond.
