埃塞俄比亚公立高等教育部门前所未有的扩张带来了大量早期职业学者（eca）在该部门从事教学和研究。认识到这些eca将面临的众多责任和挑战，2004年为eca和高级学者引入了高级文凭课程（HDP）。本文根据访谈eca和二手资料收集的数据对该计划进行了分析。作者还介绍了过去三十年来他在埃塞俄比亚高等教育部门的个人和专业经历。研究表明，HDP是由外部发起的，并在当地勉强扎根。我们还发现，eca的教学实践在很大程度上仍然借鉴他们以前的老师，这表明HDP项目并没有完全有效。
Unprecedented expansion of the public higher education sector in Ethiopia has brought about masses of early career academics (ECAs) to take up teaching and research in the sector. In recognition of a multitude of responsibilities and challenges these ECAs would face, a higher diploma program (HDP) was introduced in 2004 both for ECAs and senior academics alike. This paper analyzes this program on the basis of data collected through interviews with ECAs and secondary sources. The author also draws on his personal and professional experiences in the Ethiopian higher education sector over the last three decades. The study revealed that the HDP was initiated externally and tenuously grounded locally. It was also found out that ECAs’ teaching practice still largely draws from their previous teachers, suggesting that the HDP program has not been fully effective.
