Abstract
The study has examined the reasons behind the delinking of education and economic
development in Ethiopia. The growth of the economy was declining over time due to the growth
of unemployment and underemployments of the educated labor force. For this, the misdirected
education system was a major factor for the production of unskilled labor force that couldn’t be
productive and job creator. Of which the Poor enrolment of vocational courses, method of
delivery, absence of relevant inputs, absence of industrial linkage as well as the existence of
unskilled teachers were the main determinants affecting the quality of education system. In
addition, the development of the Ethiopian Educational Road-Map does not also review the
relevance of education outcome which is similar to the existing education system. Taking into
consideration the human capacity building, the ministry of education should revise the education
Road-Map urgently.
