Number of Ethiopian sign languages have been used in various Ethiopian schools for the deaf since 1971,
and at the primary level since 1956.
Ethiopian Sign Language, presumably a national standard, is used in primary, secondary, and—at Addis Ababa University—tertiary education, and on national television.(Source Wikipedia).
Deaf Students were left out from amharic . Mr. Minasse Abera and Mr. Hailu Yesuneh Were teachers at Amha Desta School for the deaf( Now Makanissa Schhol for the deaf ) Knew the first hand sign . So Mr. Minasse cameup with a system of finger spelling for Ethiopic (Geez) alphabet and he shared his creation with ENAD. (Source Ethiopian National Association Of The Deaf)
