A Brief Overview on Eritrean Education System: Critical Analysis and Future Research Directions | Chapter 3 | Progress in Language, Literature and Education Research Vol. 7

 Education matters in the world today because it has substantial impacts in terms of liberating people from illiteracy, diseases, hunger, and poverty. This chapter discusses the Eritrean education system at different period: before the Italian colonization (before 1889), during Italian colonialization (1889-1941), during British Administration (1941-1952), during Federation with Ethiopia (1952-1962), during annexation of Eritrea by Ethiopia (1962-1961), and after the Eritrean independence (after 1991). This study is mainly based on in-depth-interviews with officials of the Eritrean Ministry of Education and analysis of published and unpublished documents. Hence, future research should be directed at examining Eritrean education system based on information collected from other stakeholders such as teachers, who are policy implementers, students, and their parents. It underscores that the Eritrean education system has been significantly influenced by the economic and political situation of the country in that when the economic and political situation of the country has been not conducive, the education system has suffered. This study also discusses the implications of the findings of the current study and future research directions.

Political Goodwill a Catalyst for Peace: A Case of Ethiopia-Eritrea Conflict Settlement| Chapter 1 | Research Developments in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 3

Ethiopia and Eritrea are neighbours in the Horn of Africa, sharing a border that has seen bloodshed and strife in the past. The Badme border warfare, which has resulted in thousands of deaths in both nations, starvation and drought, backing for rebel groups destabilising each other's regimes, and instability in the Horn, is the most remembered and extended war. Despite the fact that they share ethnic groupings, languages, customs, and so on, their common legacies have resulted in quite diverse political, economic, and historical consequences. In the year 2000, the world community was able to persuade both governments to embrace international arbitration. Arbitration, on the other hand, was a legal option that neither country pursued. Both nations signed a Memorandum of Understanding, a political step, in 2018, and have had a largely peaceful coexistence till 2022. This study examines the elements that fueled the war, the outcome of the 2018 Peace Agreement, which restored peace to both countries after decades of hostility, and how political goodwill played a critical part in the resolution of the conflict. In-depth desk review research, text analysis and interpretation, and official documents were used in this article. The study used an interdisciplinary approach to its theoretical and methodological approach. This research argues that political goodwill contributed to the 2018 Peace Agreement, as opposed to the 'external' 2000 arbitration and Algiers Agreement, when the parties 'agreed' but did not 'consent' to adopt legal binding measures. Political goodwill led to the establishment of the enforcement system and breach consequences for the 2018 Agreement, demonstrating that political ownership and leadership promote peace.
