On August 29, 2025, a new curriculum developed over more than one year was officially finalized in Bishoftu City, Oromia Region. The curriculum, titled “Wear Green Future”, is designed to promote environmentally responsible skills development.
The curriculum will be integrated into TVET education programs, with a strong focus on garment, fashion, and textile skills. Special attention has been given to the environmental and climate change impacts of these industries, ensuring that sustainability principles are embedded within vocational training.
The closing ceremony of the curriculum development process was attended by H.E. Marwo Abdiaziz Abdullahi, Deputy Bureau Head of the SRS Environmental Protection and Rural Land Administration Bureau (SRS.EPRLAB), and Mr. Hilal Mohamed, Director of Climate Change at the Bureau.

The initiative aims to prepare a curriculum that minimizes negative impacts on climate change and environmental degradation.
