Kappa Edjem, Lochomin Lojime Lomong and Lokom Lokitibo  set out to analyse the factors affecting children’s ability to attend school in South Omo’s Nyangatom district and to provide practical recommendations for developing a sustainable education system. Many Nyangatom families are nomadic, residing in mobile cattle camps that migrate several times a year searching for grazing and water for their animals. The chance for children to attend school in the cattle camp is very low compared to the permanently residential area like Kebeles. The provision of mobile education in South Omo would allow Nyangatom children to attend schools and become educated while living close to their families.
