Ethio Telecom recently engaged in discussions with the Adama Education Bureau to explore the deployment of its digital education platform across public secondary schools in Ethiopia.
The focus was on presenting the Education Management System (EMS), a cloud-based platform designed to streamline teaching and administrative processes, as well as improve communication among teachers, students, and parents.
During the meeting, the operator showcased the platform’s key features, including electronic attendance and grade management for teachers, real-time access to student results, and integrated tools for monitoring academic progress for parents. While no official rollout has been initiated yet, the dialogue could pave the way for a collaborative implementation approach.
This initiative supports Ethiopia’s "Digital Ethiopia 2025" strategy, a comprehensive plan aimed at fostering an inclusive and digitally empowered society. It also aligns with Ethio Telecom’s new three-year transformation strategy, "Next Horizon: Digital and Beyond 2028," which seeks to position the company as a provider of diversified digital services. The strategy emphasizes expanding into high-growth sectors such as fintech, e-commerce, cloud computing, and enterprise solutions for education and healthcare.
For Ethio Telecom, initiatives like this provide opportunities to accelerate digital transformation in education while strengthening its role in Ethiopia’s broader development agenda.
