INTERACTION OF FORMAL EDUCATION WITH THE HOUSE-
HOLD ECONOMY IN RURAL ETHIOPIA: THE CASE OF THE
WOYISSO-QANCAARA, EAST SHOWA ZONE OF OROMIA
REGION
Daniel Hailu
Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology, Addis Ababa University
ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been a dramatic rise in enthusiasm for formal educa-
tion among the rural community of Woyisso-Qancaara. This means that formal education, as
an institution that evolved in an alien culture, is coming into closer interaction with the social
and economic realities of the inhabitants of Woyisso-Qancaara. Among the implications of
this interaction is the ascription of a new status and role of a student on school-going chil-
dren, which is disturbing the traditional household division of labor. It will be noted that by
sending their children to schools, households are forced to incur the opportunity cost of for-
going the immediate use of the labor of their children. The paper describes some mechanisms
by which households cope with the resulting labor shortfall. Other than forgoing the labor
of their children, parents also needed to invest part of their income on the schooling of their
children. The opportunity cost of forgoing labor and the actual cost of supporting schooling
combine with the decrease in the average income of households and the rise in population to
weaken the economy of households in Woyisso-Qancaara.
Key Words: Formal education; Woyisso-Qancaara; Labor; Opportunity cost; Household in-
come/economy.
