Schools experienced various challenges, and such challenges put the South African youth at risk of self-destructive behavior. The behavior that puts young people at risk, such as substance abuse and lack of educational life skills to mention a few, add to their vulnerability. The knowledge which has been historically repressed and marginalized needs to be given a rightful place in the development and promotion of indigenous knowledge in life skills education of South Africa. Data were collected and qualitatively framed within an interpretivist philosophical view using observation and focus group interviews from purposefully selected key informants who are experts in the area of indigenous knowledge and life skills education.

Despite calls for examining children’s lives relationally, dominant accounts view childhood as biologically, culturally or economically determined. Based on ethnographic observations of children’s life skills education programmes in Bangalore, this article shows how poor and marginalised children reposition themselves as ‘better educated’ and successful compared to peers, while a global network of professionals position them as ‘at-risk’, seeking to intervene in their lives. This article draws attention to how children can be seen as ‘strategically opportunising actors’, who creatively seek to make meaning of their lives despite structural and discursive constraints placed upon them.

 This article discusses the decision-making concept as simplified through scenarios in three isiZulu folk narratives. The three folk narratives are part of the qualitative data that were generated from 63 student participants who studied isiZulu folklore education at a South African University. During the data gathering process, each participant told one folk narrative of their choice that was narrated to them earlier in their lives, they stated who the narrator was, the rationale for narrating the story, knowledge, and skill(s) learned from the story and they stated how the story influenced their lives. The findings revealed that isiZulu folk narratives are used to simplify life skills concepts such as decision-making, which might be difficult for young people to understand and implement. Using the Naturalistic Decision-making (NDM) theory that is entwined with the Recognition-Primed Decision (RPD) model, I argue that the folk narratives provide young people with knowledge about possible life situations and this sensitises them to their immediate environment, and sharpens their decision-making and survival skills. The decision-making concept is also part of the life skills education in the school curriculum of the South African schools. Therefore, this article presents a case for the appropriateness of an African folklore approach to be used in schools to scaffold difficult concepts in the pedagogy of life skills-based curriculum.
