Nomadic and Pastoralist communities in Kenya are among the most marginalized social groups and are widely excluded from the mainstream national policy making processes. Despite pledges by the government for education for all; their literacy levels remain low compared to non-pastoralist people groups. While the Kenya government had committed to achieving the Millennium Development Goal 2 (on universal education for all) as well as Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning), pastoralist and nomadic communities are far from achieving basic education leave alone accessing ICT supported learning. Mobile schools are schools that are established around homesteads and move with the pastoralists as they move with their livestock in search of pastures. They are mainly manned by local, unqualified or untrained teachers from local communities who have had basic numerical and writing skills. Mobile education on the other hand is learning that is delivered using mobile hand-held devices like mobile phones, PDAs, or tablets. E-learning refers to learning facilitated and supported using information and communications technology. Accessing education to nomadic and pastoral communities in Kenya comes with many challenges. Lack of adequate infrastructure, the remoteness of many pastoralist groups, and lack of an inclusive education policy that considers the indigenous people's culture hinders the attainment of this goal. This paper looks at the prospects and challenges of Mobile Education and E-learning among the nomadic and pastoralists communities of Kenya.
