Abstract:
he contemporary world faces a moral crisis affecting various spheres of life, such as the
community, the family and the school. In light of this view, it is noted that the secondary
school learners in Lesotho are not immune from the escalating immorality. The study,
therefore, sought to explore the indigenous strategies that could reinforce moral education
among the learners. The study departed from an African indigenous perspective and
solicited teachers' views regarding the indigenous strategies that may reinforce moral
education among secondary school learners. The Botho/Ubuntu philosophy was thus
applied as the over-arching theoretical framework. A qualitative research method was
adopted, and data were gathered through an open-ended questionnaire and semi-
structured interviews. Twenty-eight purposively selected Lesotho secondary school
teachers took part in the study. The findings suggested that community-based, school-
based, lifestyle-changing strategies such as abstinence from immoral urges, e.g. sexual
intercourse can reinforce moral education among Lesotho secondary school learners.
