Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in ETHIOPIA

The measure of higher education is how much accessible it is to the young people in the society. Each young person is not necessarily encouraged to seek advanced education by nature,  he/she needs role models.  Ethiopian higher education is mostly dominated by die hard me in both academics and administrators.  Such leaders should be educated on the value of diversity.  Here SOME EXAMPLES
