Turning the herding lifestyle into a learning opportunity: Experiences from Lesotho
This article addresses the complex ways through which Basotho herders acquired indigenous knowledge (IK) through their herding practice. For centuries, Basotho males have practiced livestock herding as an alternative form of employment while also perceiving it as a quicker way of accruing personal livestock wealth. This socio-economic discourse has further rendered male Basotho at a disadvantage in terms of education access because of the semi-no…
Basotho herders learn through culture and social interaction
Indigenous knowledge/s of survival: Implications for lifelong learning among the Basotho herding fraternity
This article foregrounds Basotho male herders' interaction with their environment as a productive platform for informal learning activities poised to address the herders' immediate and context-specific needs. Indeed, understanding how the herders interact and learn through their daily engagements with their environments has a potential to provide substantive baseline insights that could inform Lesotho's nonformal education providers and policy-ma…
The public image of the herders in Lesotho and implication for the non-formal education curriculum
Higher reported female literacy rates in Lesotho have resulted from poverty and economic challenges which prohibit male access to education in that males drop out in higher numbers in search of employment mainly as herders, in order to supplement their family income resulting in higher female literacy rates. Whilst non-formal education (NFE) provision caters for adult herders, this provision seems to inadequately cover for the herders’ educationa…

It uses theories of identity and social capital to examine their life histories and educational needs in order to inform the national Non-Formal Education (NFE) policy. The key findings of the study were that the herders demonstrated two distinct identities – public and private. Their public identities were reflected through themes of cult…
