Despite the richness of the content, challenges remain. Many teachers face difficulties due to a lack of supplementary reading materials—novels and poetry collections written in Afaan Oromoo are still relatively scarce compared to English or Amharic resources. Furthermore, there is a constant need to update the curriculum to ensure the orthography reflects the latest linguistic research by the Academy of Ethiopian Languages and Cultures.
In recent years, the Ethiopian Ministry of Education has made concerted efforts to digitize learning materials. The Kitaaba Afaan Oromoo Kutaa 9 is now widely available in PDF format on platforms like the official MoE website and educational Telegram channels.
This shift has democratized access, allowing students in remote areas to download the textbook on smartphones or tablets, ensuring that a lack of physical books does not hinder learning.
