I am a young person found in Ethiopia I want to learn in Higher education & to change my life?

We Answered:

I have a lot of experience of this situation in other parts of Africa. My advice is always the same as I gave my sons and daughter. In the same situation, my advice to them was to do VOLUNTARY work (ie without a salary) to get work experience. In fact, most UK young people do this, and I have seen that it works in Africa too. This is because work experience is even more important than education, in getting a job. If you do not do this, you will still be unable to get a job later, because people will perceive you as a useless person, even if you get a higher degree. We all know lots of people like that in Africa! My kids did humble jobs (taking inspiration from Jesus, who washed his disciples' feet.) One son worked without pay in a community cafe, preparing the vegetables and doing the washing-up; the other worked in a home for disabled children, where his work included cleaning the toilets; and my daughter looked after small children in a nursery, doing everything that they required during the day. Through this voluntary work, they showed:

that they were good timekeepers,
that they worked hard,
that they were reliable,
that they were willing and always did more than expected of them,
that they could use their own initiative when the need arose.
They also learned some useful skills for their lives.

I suggest that this should be the next step for you, for the next year. Ask if there is a task you could do in a voluntary capacity for the NGO which has generously funded you for your first degree. (Or any other organisation.) They may be glad of help with typing and filing, perhaps 3 or 4 days a week, which would be useful experience for you. Perhaps they will be able to pay the fare for you to get to the workplace, but make the offer to do the work WITHOUT PAY. This would be a good way of getting more experience in English language.

You can also be inventive with the rest of your time and try to arrange some paid work for yourself. Use some of the skills you hopefully learned in your course. You can type dissertations for other students, for payment. You can write letters for people (but not translating their letters into English, because your command of English is not good enough yet for that.) When you have earned a little money honourably, invest in something (small and cheap) which you can sell at a higher price, and start some trading. It is all good WORK EXPERIENCE.

I wish you well! (But PS - You did not ask a question, and you are breaking Answers community guidelines by looking for sponsors on Answers, so I should have reported you.)

Why has Ethiopia been overlooked by Western Education and Culture?

We Answered:

I'd say it does have something to do with them being non-white. I mean we are talking about Western civilization which is predominately white. I think it is natural to teach about Western civilization first.

But yeah, in my World Civilization class in high school it was mostly Western Civilization.

At the university level I know there are classes on the topic of Africa offered. Yet at the high school level it really depends on the kind of teacher you have.

Truthfully, teachers aren't given the ability to actually teach a variety and diverse amount of topics. The system discourages that kind of stuff and its too tiring to fight a corrupt system. So people just teach what they are required to teach even if its partially wrong, or not as diverse.

And also, I think the countries most taught are the ones that have the biggest impact on America.

And Ethiopia, China, Egypt, the Roman Empire are all so extensive that they are a class of their own which sadly is not offered at the high school level.
