This monograph which studied the contribution of primary education to rural livelihoods in Hawzen, a sub- region in Tigrai Regional State of Ethiopia has been able to discover how primary education has influenced farmers who were once or are currently attending primary schools compared to their illiterate counterparts. The book has also assessed the basic literacy and numeracy of school children that are indirectly influencing rural livelihoods and can be potential farmers. It presents in what ways primary education has contributed and what should be done to make it contribute to the wellbeing of rural based society. This book may be useful to several readers.
