Different levels of school
Famous schools have specialized for a given subject and students from all over Ethiopia will come to this school to learn this special subject. The system of schools resembles a system of stairs. The curriculum, which is predominantly handed down orally to the students, is momorized. It consists of the following subjects:
A. Nebab Bet = House of Reading
B. Qeddase Bet = Schools for the tasks of Deacons and common priests for everyday life.
C. Higher Church Schools:
(d) Zema Bet = Church-song and sacramental dance
(b) Qene Bet = The language Ge'ez and church poetry
(c) Mats'haf Bet = Study of the bible, of the church fathers and the jurisdiction of the church
Within these three steps, which are comparable with our primary- and secondary-schools and universities various subjects are taught.
