The following table shows the impact of war on general education public institutions

The war on Tigray has severely disrupted the general education system, rendering the majority of institutions unable to provide normal educational services. An assessment of 1,758 public general education institutions, including schools, education bureaus, and woreda education offices, reveals widespread functional breakdown across the sector.

A significant proportion of institutions are severely non-functional, with 18.11% completely unable to operate due to destruction, looting, or the total displacement of staff and learners. An additional 47.32% are moderately non-functional, struggling to deliver education services as a result of damaged infrastructure, shortages of teachers, and the loss of learning materials.

Meanwhile, according to CITG`s survey in 2022, 34.57% of institutions remain partially functional, continuing limited educational activities under unsafe and highly constrained conditions, often with damaged facilities and scarce resources.

Overall, 85.92% of all assessed institutions are either severely, moderately, or partially non-functional. As a result, only a very small number of institutions can be considered fully functional, underscoring the profound impact of the war on the education system.
