Résumé
Cet article examine d’un point de vue critique le contexte dans lequel les universités publiques mettent en œuvre des séries de réformes initiées et contrôlées principalement par le gouvernement. En conséquence, il essaie de décompresser ces facteurs politiques, professionnels et épistémologiques contribuant à la diminution de la qualité de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage. Des discussions de groupe formelles et informelles, des documents gouvernementaux, des textes relatifs à des études nationales et internationales et des expériences personnelles ont été utilisés en tant que sources de données probantes pour l’éclairage de l’analyse. L’étude a révélé que l’environnement éducatif, comme l’enseignement, sont en déclin dans la plupart des universités publiques. L’intervention excessive du ministère fédéral de l’éducation et le manque d’autonomie apparaissent comme les facteurs principaux de déclin des normes universitaires. Une tension est créée entre, d’une part la volonté de contrôle politique du gouvernement et d’autre part, la volonté des universités de préserver une éducation de qualité. En conséquence, la qualité de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage dans les universités publiques éthiopiennes cours le risque d’entrer en déclin.
