University Students Are Worried About The Shortage of Vehicles

Students that our facebook group, English Teachers in Ethiopia, contacted have expressed concerns regarding the transport problems that they expect to face in the weeks to come. Last week, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced the dates in which State Universities will conduct the registration of students. This schedule doesn't give universities much freedom to summon their students at different times than the other institutions do. As a result, this will cause  a shortage of vehicles since students move almost exactly at the same time. Bedrooms will also not be available as tens of thousands of students spend a night or two in the big towns including Addis Ababa. We witnessed how the students were troubled as they tried to go back to their homes at the end of last semester. As most of you might remember, that problem was caused by the release of thousands of the learners at the same time. MOE and other university officials along with the Ministry of Transport should find immediate solutions for this urgent call from students we contacted from the various corners of the land.
