Overview

Analyzes curriculum relevance in public administration education, suggesting the need for reform to meet public service demands.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess how well public administration teaching aligns with the competencies needed in civil service roles.
  • Utilized a deductive content analysis approach to evaluate PA curricula
  • Examined competencies required for civil service in Ethiopia and Africa
  • Identified gaps between PA teaching and public sector profession requirements
  • General alignment of PA curricula with civil service competencies is shown, but it is insufficient
  • Critical areas like local governance, socio-cultural values, and regional political economy are poorly integrated
  • Calls for reforms in curricula and stronger collaboration among educational institutions and stakeholders
