    The nomadic populace of the country represents a section that could be said to be held with levity. The flame of literacy is close to being snuffed out among the nomadic masses. Not only should literacy be valued over illiteracy but literacy somewhat guarantees the nomads a life beyond their current one. It offers them a lifeline into the modern world, shedding the skin of illiteracy for that of the well-read. It is in line with this that a study was done in Orelope local government of Oyo State to find out if the establishment of nomadic schools have significantly modernized their lifestyle. The study also tries to know if there is any significant relationship between nomadic education and rural development, in terms of the availability of social infrastructures. The survey method was employed with a two-stage sampling technique to select a sample size of 125. The chi square method was then used to analyse the data collected. The study discovered that there is no relationship between nomadic schools and rural development. Also, the schools have not significantly changed the lifestyles of the nomads. Based on these, the study recommends that conducive learning environments should be made available, the amendment of the educational syllabus to suit the lifestyle of the nomads should be given priority.
