An ideal (a.k.a. radical)
modular system has some important criteria. a.
Curriculum and the relations to other educational programs: Restriction of learning content and/or
qualifications, flexible combination of different modules; b. Curriculum and guide lines: Standardization of learning
contents, qualifications, and methods of measuring learning outcome; c. Assessment: Output-orientation; d. Certification process: Certification
of each unit; e. Participants:
Unrestricted entrance and exit opportunities by participants; and f. Providers: Unrestricted option to
offer all types of modules by all kinds of schools and training providers.
[Pilz, M. (2002). Modularization in the Scottish Education System: A View from
the Outside. Scottish
Educational Review 34(2): 163–174.] Those Ethiopian higher education
institutes implementing the modular programs can easily see the inadequacies of the
programs in terms of these criteria.
