Ethiopian Literacy
Ethiopian literacy refers to the ability of individuals in Ethiopia to read and write. As of recent estimates, the literacy rate in Ethiopia is around 50-60%, with significant variations between urban and rural areas. Efforts to improve literacy have been ongoing, with the government and various organizations implementing educational programs.
The primary language of instruction in Ethiopia is Amharic, but there are also many regional languages, such as Oromo and Tigrinya. These languages are essential for promoting literacy among diverse ethnic groups. Access to education has improved, but challenges remain, particularly in remote regions.
