| description | The aim of this research was to investigate content related problems of high school civic and
ethical education textbooks in Ethiopia. Though different researches were undertaken on the limitations of
civic education in Ethiopia, the content related problems were overlooked. Hence, it was justifiable to
conduct this study. The research employed qualitative method. The data were collected through interviews,
focus group discussions and document analysis. These data were analyzed through discourse analysis.
Accordingly, the contents of the textbooks about rights, democracy, equality, and history were found to be
distorted and presented in a manner to build the image of the incumbent while these issues are antithetical
with the realities. The textbooks are found to be used as vehicle of the regime’s propaganda. The nature of
the regime and lack of the professional knowledge and integrity in preparing the textbooks are found to be
the main reasons behind the problem. |
