# Temari.et

> Temari.et is Ethiopia's education platform. For students and families: chapter notes that follow the national textbooks, practice questions, video lessons, past papers and timed mock exams for the Grade 6, Grade 8 and Grade 12 (EUEE) national exams, and an AI tutor that answers in the reader's own language, KG to Grade 12 on any phone. For schools: a complete school management system (attendance, fees, report cards, timetables, HR and payroll, SMS to parents). It works in each user's own language, is built mobile-first for slow connections, and supports the Ethiopian calendar throughout. Built by the Temari team in Addis Ababa.

Key facts:
- Schools collect their fees directly into their own bank, wallet or cash accounts; the platform invoices, verifies references and issues QR-verified receipts.
- Core platform pricing: 200 ETB per student per year, paid by the parent at registration. A new school runs its first full semester before paying anything, and pays only if it continues.
- 19 schools run on Temari (Addis Ababa and beyond), including Xless Educational Empire, Elon Academy, Ethio Hopes Academy and BrightBrain. Temari.et is INSA certified (Information Network Security Administration).
- Every school gets a named support person reachable by phone, SMS or in person; problems that block school operations are answered within 24 hours, usually within hours. Demos are booked by phone: 0976 524 241 or 0988 155 377.
- Optional School Plan for schools: 10 ETB per student per month (automated payment verification, electronic receipts, School AI).
- National exam practice (Grade 6, Grade 8, Grade 12 EUEE natural and social streams) is free with an account; an optional AI tutor upgrade is 199 ETB per month.
- Grade 10 has no national exam in Ethiopia; the exam grades are 6, 8 and 12.
- Names follow the Ethiopian patronymic system; dates support the Ethiopian (Ge'ez) calendar; SMS is the primary parent channel.
- The app installs as a PWA and keeps working through connection drops; attendance and mark entry queue offline and sync back.

## Study notes (free, in the reader's language)

Short notes and revision cards for the Ethiopian national curriculum, called አጤሬራ: one formula, rule, method, memory aid, common mistake or reference table per card, with what every symbol in it means, when it applies, and the mistake students most often make with it. In the reader's own language, free, no account needed.

Cards accumulate onto one page per grade and subject: 1,585 cards across 86 pages, covering 554 chapters of the national textbooks from Grade 1 to Grade 12. Each page is grouped by the chapters of the textbook it revises, named as the textbook names them, and a chapter can be taken one card at a time on the page itself. Every page can also be downloaded as a printable A4 sheet. Every page also offers the new-curriculum student textbook for its grade and subject as a free PDF (the Ministry of Education edition, and the Oromia Education Bureau edition where one exists), with the book's table of contents.

How the cards are made, and how far to trust them: each is drafted from the Ministry of Education textbook for its grade and chapter. A second pass that cannot see that chapter then re-derives every formula, constant and table row, and anything it cannot confirm is held back instead of published. Each card prints the book and page range behind it and the date it was last read through; a card a subject teacher has read says so.

- [The Ethiopian Public Service University has a new emblem](https://temari.et/news/public-service-university-new-logo): The Ethiopian Public Service University has published a new logo and its president, Nigus Tadesse (Dr.), says the change reflects the stage the institution has reached; the announcement also repeats four settled facts about the university, which are that it has been classified as an applied science university, that its stated focus is building the capacity of public service institutions and training in digitalisation, that it has been called the Ethiopian Public Service University since 2018 E.C., and that it submitted its existing and new first-degree programmes to the Ministry of Education and had 18 of them approved in Hamle 2018 E.C. (8 July to 6 August 2026); in 2018 E.C. it admitted students placed by the Ministry of Education into undergraduate programmes for the first time, alongside the students it recruits from public sector institutions, which is why the name can appear on a placement letter to someone who never applied to it; single Telegram source of 9 September 2026, with nothing published on the university's own channels and the president's words reaching us through that post
- [The Grade 12 pass rate has nearly quadrupled in four years](https://temari.et/news/grade-12-pass-rate-five-year-series-2018-ec): The Educational Assessment and Examinations Service has published the share of Grade 12 candidates scoring 50 percent or above for each of the last five Ethiopian years, as a chart carried by a Telegram education channel on 7 September 2026; the full series is 2014 E.C. 6.80 percent natural science, 1.24 social science, 3.32 overall; 2015 E.C. 5.33, 1.69, 3.23; 2016 E.C. 8.75, 2.36, 5.40; 2017 E.C. 11.80, 5.30, 8.90; 2018 E.C. 16.62, 8.35, 12.85; that is close to four times the 2014 figure overall, and in candidates 70,544 passed in 2018 E.C. against 48,929 the year before, 21,615 more people; the summary circulating with the chart says the figure improves year on year, which the chart itself does not show: 2015 E.C. came in below 2014 on the overall figure (3.32 to 3.23) and further below on natural science (6.80 to 5.33), with only social science rising that year, so the uninterrupted climb runs from 2016; social science grew fastest in proportion, close to seven times its 2014 level against a little under two and a half times for natural science, yet the gap between the streams in percentage points is the widest in the series, 8.27 points in 2018 E.C. against 5.56 in 2014; the 2017 E.C. point of 8.90 is the figure the service uses in its own announcement, but 8.4 percent reached the 50 mark that year and the rate became 8.9 only after the Ministry lowered the cutoff to 49.5 percent once results were out, so one point in a series headed "50 percent and above" rests on a different cutoff and the chart does not say so; the Minister's 22 August 2026 briefing gave 12.8 percent overall, 16.5 to 16.6 for natural science and 8.33 for social science, against the chart's 12.85, 16.62 and 8.35, the same result to a different number of decimal places

(2026/27) academic year; a place covers the full cost of study, carries a modest stipend, adds support and training through partner institutions, places the holder in the undergraduate programmes of the university's seven colleges and its School of Law, and is followed by a postgraduate place for the master's degree and the doctorate; eligibility per section 3 of AAU's own admission notice is 500 or above out of 600 in the 2018 E.C.

Grade 12 cut-off mark has been announced is FALSE, no cut-off has been published, and it will check and give the correct information shortly; the service did not say which figure the card claimed, and the mark actually outstanding is the remedial cut-off the Minister said on 22 August would be announced later; official routes remain result.eaes.et, the @eaesbot Telegram bot and SMS to 6284; single Telegram source, and the service's own announcements list still ended at the 22 and 24 August result notices as of 30 August 2026

(13 July 2026), addressed to all public universities and published by a Telegram education channel on 28 August 2026 (ነሐሴ 22 ቀን 2018 ዓ.ም.) as a photograph of the signed and sealed page; the Ministry alone places students who sit the secondary school leaving exam and earn a university entrance result, on both the regular and the remedial programmes; a Ministry study checking that placed students were actually studying where they had been sent found universities moving students between institutions without the Ministry's knowledge and without the authority to do it; the Ministry calls the practice a harm to the shared national character of the universities and a breach of the right to equality and fair procedure; moving a placed first-year student, or admitting and teaching one, is prohibited in any circumstance, and university leaders who break the decision will be held accountable; copies went to the Minister's office, the state minister for higher education development, the state minister for general education, the Education Assessment and Examinations Service and the Education and Training Authority; the Ministry has not published the circular on its own channels
