In addition, the study also aimed at identifying the extent of protection given to this right under the laws and policies of the country. To this end, in this research, the researcher employed qualitative content analysis research method to better understand the protection given to the right to education under the federal and regional constitutions, different policies and laws. The study concluded that the laws and policies including the constitution of the country do not clearly stipulate the right to education in the same and similar manner like the UDHRs, ICESCRs and other international human right instruments did. Moreover, the FDRE constitution, which devoted 16 articles for the democratic rights, did not devote any article about the right of every person to education. The regional constitutions also did say anything about the people’s right to education. Ethiopia has also made different policies which are directly related with children, women and youth. However, none of these policies clearly stipulate the right of these groups to education. Finally the study recommended that in order to tackle absence of clear provision in the right to education, the ministry of education and other respective organs need to issue special legislations and policies that address people’s right to the right to education. In addition to the law making, it is recommended that the ministry of education and other relevant offices need to incorporate the right to education on the text books and other materials to teach and aware the people.enThesis
