Youth Employability through French Language

FSPI project “Strengthening French as a Lever for Youth Employability in Ethiopia 2022–2024”

The project supported an Ethiopian education reform that introduced French as a foreign language in selected public high schools, with the objective of enhancing youth employability through strengthened language skills and improved access to educational and professional opportunities. Main activities included developing curriculum frameworks, pedagogical guides, and teaching resources, supporting authorities and teachers in the roll-out of French language teaching, and building a cadre of FLE trainers able to deliver future in-service professional training.

Learning Avenue's Role

Learning Avenue led the external evaluation of the FSPI project, analysing the relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability of the reform for secondary education and youth training, with a focus on its contribution to youth employability and education-to-work transitions.
