Ethiopian TVET System Model Curriculum
Preface
The reformed Ethiopian TVET-System is an outcome-based system. It utilizes the needs of the
labor market and occupational requirements from the world of work as the benchmark and
standard for TVET delivery. The requirements from the world of work are analyzed and
documented taking into account international benchmarking as Ethiopian Occupational Standards
(EOS).
In the reformed Ethiopian TVET-System, Curricula and Curriculum Development play an

important role with regard to quality driven TVET-Delivery. Curricula help to facilitate the
learning process in a way, that learners acquire the set of occupational competencies (skills,
knowledge and attitude) required at the working place and defined in the Ethiopian Occupational
Standards (EOS). Responsibility for Curriculum Development will be given to the Regional
TVET-Authorities and TVET-Providers.
This curriculum has been developed (Feb, 2015) by a group of experts from different Regional
TVET-Authorities and revised (Aug, 2017) by Tigray TVET Bureau group of experts based on
the Ethiopian Occupational Standard Basic Civics and Ethical Education.
It has a character of a Revised model curriculum and is an example on how to transform the
occupational requirements as defined in the respective Ethiopian Occupational Standard into an
adequate curriculum.
The Revised curriculum development process has been actively supported and facilitated by
Tigray National Regional State Technical and Vocational Educational and Training (TVET)
Bureau Outcome Based Training Work Process Occupational Standard.
