Volunteer in Ethiopia

Twelve years ago there were only two public universities in Ethiopia. Now there are almost 30 and Ethiopia has a serious shortage of trained educationalists.

Are you an experienced higher education professional? VSO currently has a range of roles in Ethiopia starting in September 2012. See the full list of roles available in Ethiopia.
