In ethiopia
1.The impact of HIV/AIDS on education, in particular in ethiopia. It looks at the situation of both macro and micro-levels, and emphasizes the need to react quickly and to institutionalize the response of education systems to the negative consequences of the pandemic.the first part of the book discussesthe practicability of implementing a range of indicators for monitoring the impact of HIV/AIDS on the education sector, specifically on the demand for, supply of, and management and quality of education at all levels. It underlines the difficulties of assessing and monitoring the impact on demand, supply and quality given the poor state of the EMIS in many of the worst-affected countries in Africa.

The second part focuses on the essential role that the education systems has to play in preventing the expansion and/or mitigating the impact of the epidemic. A range of responses are developed here, drawing on the experiences of various national and international organizations. This part also presents an overview of the education systems in several countries of sub-Saharan Africa that have attempted programmes to import life skills to children and young people attempted programmes to impart life skills to children and young people. It discusses what would be involved in institutionalizing a response to HIV/AIDS,how to implement such a programme, and what should be the relevant process indicators. It finally considers the problems of evaluating such programmes, in light of the difficulties of assessing cost-effectiveness

HIV and AIDS constitute a very serious problem in societies with a high HIV and AIDS prevalence, and require urgent and immediate attention on all levels. However, trained teachers can play a critical role in providing HIV and AIDS preventive education, thereby reducing HIV infections among young people.

This synthesis report summarizes the main findings from case studies in Ethiopia that examined the response of teacher training colleges to HIV and AIDS. The findings show that the epidemic is adversely affecting faculty, staff and the functioning of teacher training colleges,yet not much effort is being made to address it. The reason for this is not ignorance of the management, but rather the absence of any institutional policy frameworks on HIV and AIDS. Bureaucratic bottlenecks also limit institutional resource mobilization,

the result in a shortage of teaching materials and inadequate capacities in the teaching of HIV and AIDS and life skills education.In addition, it was found that HIV and AIDS are highly stigmatized, colleges are ill equipped with health facilities, and national policies on condom use are ambiguous. The report presents a discussion of these and other issues, and makes policy and programmatic recommendations for strengthening the response of teacher training colleges to HIV and AIDS. HIV/AIDS affects the economics of both individuals and countries.The gross domestic product of the most affected countries has decreased due to the lack of human capital.Without proper nutrition, health care and medicine, large numbers of people die from AIDS-related complications. They will not only be unable to work, but will also require significant medical care. It is estimated that as of 2007 there where 12 million Many are cared for by elderly grandparents. By affecting mainly young adults, AIDS reduces the taxable population, in turn reducing the resources available for public expenditures such as education and health services not related to AIDS resulting in increasing pressure for the state's finances and slower growth of the economy. This causes a slower growth of the tax base, an effect that is reinforced if there are growing expenditures on treating the sick, training (to replace sick workers), sick pay and caring for AIDS orphans. This is especially true if the sharp increase in adult mortality shifts the responsibility and blame from the family to the government in caring for these orphans. At the household level, AIDS results in both the loss of income but also increased spending on healthcare. A study in Côte d'Ivoire showed that households with an HIV/AIDS patient, spent twice as much on medical expenses as other households. This additional expenditure also leaves less income to spend on education and other personal or family investment.[
