Abstract
Motivating learners in any society, to enrol and remain in school requires the provision of
quality education which will make parents and pupils/students appreciate and relate
education to the realities of life based on their values, aspirations, needs and beliefs. This
research study, examined ways by which Relevant subject matter (relevant curriculum),
Interesting instruction (expert teaching), Satisfied learners (reinforced learners) and
Expectation for success (positive support from parents, teachers & others) can motivate the
enrolment and retention of Fulbe pupils in nomadic schools. This is in line with Hootstein’s
(1998) RISE Model of motivating reluctant learners in schools. The study highlighted the
role of curriculum, teachers and reinforcement in school enrolment and retention generally
and relating how these factors might motivate the Fulbe nomadic pupils to enrol and remain
in school. It is conducted in Adamawa state and the respondents were the pupils of primary
4, 5 and 6 of ten (10) nomadic schools, these are: Konglatan Nom sch, Mamukan Nom sch,
Matsimin Nom sch, Yadafa Nom sch, Nana Asma’u Nom sch, Garandiyyah Nom sch, Wuro
Labai Nom sch, Gudusu Nom sch, Bagalchi Nom sch and Nassarawo Nom School from 7
LGAs. The researcher used the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) to analyze the
data. Based on the findings of the study, five of the six null hypotheses were rejected while
the fifth which stated that there is no significant relationship between reinforcement and the
motive to enrol in school was retained. The researcher recommended more training and
retraining of teachers by the National Commission for Nomadic Education (NCNE) Teacher
