(b) Formal and vocational education Apart from the Addis Ababa, Kality and Dippo prisons, the other prisons have very few facilities for vocational training. The Addis Ababa prison provides training in wood work, metal work, sewing, weaving, welding, computer training and home economics. The Kaliti prison also provides metal work and computer training to some prisoners. The Dippo Prison has a well equipped woodwork, metalwork and weaving section where inmates (male) are taught different skills. The Special Rapporteur poses for a photo in the show room of the Dippo Prison skills training workshop In the Arba Minch and Awasa prisons, there were no tools. In most of the prisons, vocational training such as woodwork, metal work, weaving and sewing was given only to male inmates. In all the prisons the Special Rapporteur didn’t see female inmates taking part in any vocational skill development activity. In the Addis Ababa prison however, there were three female inmates learning home economics. The authorities argued that because of inadequate resources and manpower availability, they could not provide training for both sexes at the same time. Most of the prisons have schools that provide formal education up to grade six. In the Addis Ababa prison, the authorities are constructing a school to extend education to grade 10. The Dire Dawa, prison has no schools for formal education and no facilities for vocational training. 32 Report of the Mission of the Special Rapporteur on Prisons to Ethiopia 15 – 29 March 2004
