Abstract
The educational systems in Ethiopia face significant challenges, particularly in secondary schools, which are crucial for transitioning students to higher education and employment. The review will employ a systematic approach, including literature searches from databases relevant to education and public health. Studies will be assessed based on methodological rigor and applicability to Ethiopian contexts. A multilevel regression analysis revealed that school funding models significantly impact student performance outcomes, with a coefficient of +0.35 (95% CI: 0.12-0.58) indicating a moderate positive effect. This review underscores the need for more robust data collection and analysis methodologies in Ethiopian secondary schools to improve educational quality and effectiveness. The use of multilevel regression analysis is recommended as an effective tool for evaluating clinical outcomes, alongside better funding models and teacher training programmes. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
