The Addis Ababa City Innovation Bureau is working to onboard all public schools onto its E-school management portal by next year, paving the way for citywide digital registration.
Registration for public schools will fully digitize in the next two years as the Addis Ababa City Innovation and Technology Development Bureau ramps up its city-wide campaign. The Bureau, which has integrated over 500 schools into its E-school management portal, hopes to create a comprehensive education data hub in the capital. The initiative, dubbed Smart Citizens, is part of a six-pillar smart city project undertaken by City Hall.
Addis Ababa is undergoing technology-driven transformation efforts aimed at turning the capital into a smart city, leveraging enhanced public service standards and multifaceted initiatives, Mayor Adanech Abiebie said.
The Mayor made the remarks during her visit to the ongoing Ethiopian Technology Expo (ETEX 2025), which ran from 16-18 May at the Addis International Convention Center.
