It is Education that enables man to harness nature and utilize her
resources for the well-being and improvements of life. The key for
the completeness and betterment of modern living is Education.
But, Man cannot live by bread alone. Man, after all, is also
composed of intellect and soul.
Education develops the intellect; and the intellect distinguishes
man from other creatures. Education which ignores man's intrinsic

Higher Education
Education in general, and Higher Education in particular, must aim
to provide, beyond the physical, food for the intellect and soul.
A well organized Education should not be one which prepares
students for a good remuneration alone. It should be one that can
help guide them towards acquiring clear thinking, a fruitful mind,
and an elevated spirit.
The salvation of Our country, Ethiopia, as We have repeatedly stated
to you, lies primarily in Education. As Ethiopia is one, all
Ethiopians are also one, and Education is the only way to maintain
this condition.
