The Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia commissioned a national study to review the overall education system of Ethiopia in 2016 that resulted in the Education and Training Roadmap outlining the unwavering commitment towards transformative changes in the national education system. Among the various areas identified in the Roadmap for further intervention and urgent policy shift was the dire need to differentiate the public universities-which for ages have stagnated from disciplinary and mission redundancy-and transform them to vibrant 21st century dynamic universities endowed with missions commensurate with the critical needs of the country.
