Résumé
Les sciences sociales sont à la croisée des chemins en Ethiopie. En effet, la stratégie ouverte du gouvernement a favorisé les disciplines scientifiques et l’ingénierie et cela se traduit par l’allocation de plus de fonds à celles- ci. Il pourrait en résulter un manque criant de financement de la recherche pour les programmes de Master et de Doctorat en sciences sociales et le manque d’investissement dans les infrastructures qui aura pour conséquence le manque de locaux pour le personnel et le manque de salles de classes et de bureaux pour les d’étudiants de 3ème cycle. A long terme, il pourrait en résulter un appui beaucoup moindre en ce qui concerne le perfectionnement du personnel avec de moins en moins d’étudiants choisissant les domaines des sciences sociales. Mais les sciences sociales peuvent transformer ces défis en opportunités. Pour ce faire, il conviendrait de mettre l’accent sur l’éducation de qualité – ce volet étant la question centrale identifiée récemment dans le cadre de débats sur la nature et l’orientation de l’ensei- gnement supérieur en Ethiopie. L’adage bien connu « tout ce qui est petit est mignon », qui pour ce qui concerne le cas présent peut être résumé par « tout ce qui est petit est viable », peut s’appliquer à l’avenir des sciences sociales dans le système de l’enseignement supérieur éthiopien. Un effectif d’étudiants suffisamment gérable, aussi bien pour les deux premiers cycles que pour le troisième cycle, pourrait permettre aux sciences sociales de garantir à leurs étudiants un enseignement pertinent et de qualité.
