He explained that the setting up of the School was in line with the EPLF’s clear vision of nurturing skilled manpower who would play vital role in the nation-building process in the post-independence period. Nationals who pursued training course in the School are currently making vital contribution in the national reconstruction endeavors, Mr. Tesfai added.

Noting that a number of people used to flock to the liberated areas due massive inhume atrocities of colonial forces, he indicated that the Revolutionary School was expanding from time to time to accommodate up to Grade 8 level. In this respect, Mr. Tesfai stated that establishing of the school was quite imperative for nurturing junior technicians who could engage in multiple tasks.

The head of administration in the School, Mr. Berhane Araya, said on his part that the shortcomings and challenges encountered in the school used to be tackled through creative and innovative skill of staff members.
