And it also prescribes the timing of change every eight years by means of ritual performance, thereby simultaneously setting the individual sets or cohorts into clearly identifiable academic objects, contents instructional methods, evaluation and measurement techniques, which ended with the organization of, pass-and fall ceremonies. At each stage, Gadaa members are educated in Oromo history, military strategy, law, and governance. The study was conducted through qualitative research method. It is useful technique to interpret and probe qualitative data that gathered from secondary and primary sources. The collected data categorized and interpreted thematically, to keep coherence of historical facts.
