The main purpose of the study was to investigate woreda’s education office leader’s perceptions in implementation of the new education and training policy of Ethiopia (2023). Three basic research questions were raised to conduct the study. Qualitative research method was employed to provide better understanding of research problems. A case study research design was employed to examine the presence of a specific phenomenon of a person or organization related in-detail. Data were collected from three woreda’s education office leaders and included eight participants selected using purposive sampling techniques. The data were analyzed thematically and manually using excels spreadsheet. The results confirmed that woreda education offices leaders have insights on Ethiopia's new education and training policy. As much as possible they were providing technical support, assigning teachers, budgets and material support for schools to ensure the achievement of the new education and training policy. However, there is a shortage of providing support like, technical, material, assigning adequate teachers and budget resources to schools. Therefore, school facility, lack of trained man power and inadequate funding were the major challenges of the schools. The study recommended that educators, teachers, parents and educational supporters need to provide continuous technical and material support to schools. The government should provide adequate human resources and budgets to schools to implement the new education and training policy as required. The study also, indicated that the future studies should involve large sample size woreda’s education office leader’s including school leaders’ perceptions in the implementation of the new education and training policy of Ethiopia.
