(October 21/2018) A discussion was held on the possibility of higher education institutions conducting a Tracer Study for graduates.

The State Minister for Higher Education Development, Honorable Ato Kora Tushune, who attended the meeting, stated that the Tracer Study for higher education graduates is one way to ensure the quality of education.

He said that if higher education institutions do not conduct a Tracer Study for their educational programs, they will have difficulty knowing what they are doing and may end up training human resources that are not needed in the market.

Therefore, the Honorable State Minister urged all higher education institutions to focus on the Tracer Study for graduates and work in a consistent manner at the level of the educational program.

Professor Kindea Gebrehiwot, Advisor to the Ministry of Education, for his part, emphasized that the Tracer Study should be conducted in a coordinated manner as it will be an input for policy decisions, curriculum review and other national plans.

On the other hand, the Chief Executive Officer of Academic Affairs, Eba Mijena (Dr.), said that since the Tracer Study is an academic core work, universities should pay attention to this issue.

In addition, Dr. Eba said that the Tracer Study for 2016 graduates should be conducted in all higher education institutions from October to April 2018 according to a consistent schedule.

The discussion was attended by the academic vice presidents and academic program directors of all universities, and a paper on access research was presented and discussed.
