Dependency on external funding is a major weakness in many community-based and bilingual education programmes. However, there is no comprehensive strategy that ensures that the curriculum and the education system are relevant to the livelihood situation of pastoralists and hunter-gatherers.

Another comment was that school-educated children often detach themselves from their traditional lifestyle: "If, after finishing school, they remain unemployed, they end up belonging to nowhere".
