Abstract:
The study sought to answer the question: How effective is the implementation of Creativity and
Entrepreneurial (CE) curriculum in Lesotho post-primary schools? In addressing this question, the study
adopted an interpretivist paradigm through a qualitative approach. A critical policy analysis was then
conducted jointly with the literature review to determine how CE curriculum is aligned with the vision
for Lesotho education. The study also employed a case study research design whereby eight purposively
selected participants from four post-primary schools were engaged in semi-structured interviews
through the use of open-ended questions.
The findings of the study revealed that CE curriculum in post-primary schools is not successfully
implemented. This is due to a number of challenges inclusive of insufficient resources and lack of
training which results in teachers’ unpreparedness to implement this curriculum. The study further
revealed that the Constitution of Lesotho 1993, Education Act 2010 as well as the Education Sector
Strategic Plan 2016-2026 are uncommunicative on issues pertaining to CE curriculum.
In order to ensure efficient implementation of CE curriculum, it is recommended that the Ministry of
Education and Training (MoET) strengthens its endeavour in sensitising teachers on the said curriculum
and also providing schools with the necessary human and material resources
