3. EDUCATION STRATEGY CENTRE

4. Proclamations and Regulation on (H)ESC Establishment and its responsibilities
The Higher Education Strategy Center (HESC) was established in 2003, by the HE Proc No. 351/2003, as an autonomous organ accountable to the Ministry of Education (MoE). The HE Proc No 650/2009 maintained the provisions given to HESC in Proc No 351/2003, and yet with broader responsibilities. The proclamation has also an article that states that the Center will be established by a regulation and thus, regulation 276/2012 was enacted.

6. Regulation no 276/2012
with a view to transforming the quality and standards of education and training of the country to a higher level, have the objective to carry out research and studies on education and training and thereby initiate policy and strategy proposals on the administration of education, education programs, research, and teachers and human recourses development, and serve as a reliable national center for data base

background

14. Problems Faced by Researchers Faced by Universities scientific problem
Fragmented resources locations
Lack of streamlined thematic research
Plagiarism
Intellectual Property Rights
Lack of Metadata and Within-Documents Search
Global Visibility
Faced by Universities
Replication of similar resources
Realization of harmonized curriculum
Instructors’ quality gap (young or remote universities)
Lower course contents quality within private colleges/universities
scientific problem
new

15. Use Case
The collected and analyzed artifacts from education research projects are considered as a valuable source for further exploration.
The archive of artifacts should be made available to research to all Ethiopian education researchers
The primary focus is on the Ethiopian education research source but should be extended to an African approach
The multi-cultural and multi-lingual African approaches should be accommodated.  

16. Use Case The use case intended to:
An overview of e-books freely available/accessible online globally
Sharing digital content by creating an Online Library on education

17. Methodology to Implement the Case
clone
DOI (this through the connection with ORCID –
clone
of the Sci-GaIA Open Access Repository
OAI-PMH endpoint and a RESTful API
MOOCs platform, the Sci-Gaia Online Courses server ( based on OpenEdx, will be considered

18. Why has the MOOC become important?
Sharing teaching materials for specific subjects
Increased accessibility to learning materials for students
  Pedagogical assistance for young lecturers
Increased cost efficiency
Accessible at any time and any where - response of users schedules

19. Expected Output:
Federated e-library on education as source for instructors, researchers, PhD, graduate and undergraduate students as well as for education experts, policy makers and practitioners.
MOOCs platform on education for teaching and learning purposes
