implementing the TVET program. The purpose of this study was to
examine leadership problems in the management of educational resources
in Entoto, Weliso, Assela, Hosaina, General Wingate and Kombolcha
TVET colleges of Ethiopia. For the execution of the study, a descriptive
survey design was employed. In this endeavor, data were collected through
questionnaire, interviews and document analysis. The data collected during

factors related to planning, coordination, and staffing, financial and
physical resources management. Consequently, it has indicated that the
implementation of the program in those colleges was marked by the
existence of inadequate number of qualified academic staffs, inefficient
handling of educational resources and lack of financial, material, human,
and physical resources. Based on the findings of the study, some valuable
suggestions were forwarded for those deans, administrative and
