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. For example, we need lecturers and professors in a range of subjects.
