“…Most systematic reviews of academic achievement and its factors among college students in Ethiopia focus on average grade point and performance evaluation indicators, adapting these metrics to their research goals and regional contexts [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] However, high-quality research on the topic in Ethiopia is scarce. This study analyzed eligible peer-reviewed papers from various Ethiopian colleges published between 2013 and 2022.…”

“…However, two studies used a cross-sectional, qualitative design [33,34]. Most of the studies we reviewed [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] examined sociodemographic factors such as age, gender differences, and monthly pocket money as potential contributors to academic achievement. However, a small proportion of studies, specifically those that examined the relationship between menstruation and academic success, included interviews with women [35,36].…”

Background Academic success is a measure of students’ ability to attain their educational objectives, often assessed through regular evaluations or examinations. To establish effective policies and programs that align with academic accomplishments, conducting comprehensive data analysis is pivotal. Hence, this systematic review aimed to synthesize the factors impeding the academic achievements of Ethiopian students in higher education. Methods A comprehensive review was conducted on studies involving Ethiopian university students from 2013 to 2022. The review encompassed 24 papers that were gathered from different databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, African Journals Online, Scopus, and Web of Science. Results The findings of this research revealed that inadequate classroom environments, experiencing dysmenorrhea, and engaging in excessive social media usage were all linked to a decline in academic performance. Conversely, adopting healthy sleep habits, achieving high scores in entrance exams, and avoiding recent substance abuse were all factors positively influencing academic success. In addition, there was a positive correlation between academic excellence and being a health science college student and age range of 20 to 24 years old. Conclusion To enhance academic performance, it is crucial to address the negative factors identified, such as inadequate classroom environments, dysmenorrhea, and excessive social media usage, while promoting positive factors like healthy sleep habits, high scores in exams, and avoiding substance abuse. Additionally, being a health science college student and belonging to the age range of 20 to 24 were found to be associated with academic excellence.
