**5.1 Conclusion**

This chapter begins by highlighting the historical background to the initiation of the PGDHE program at the National University of Lesotho. It has presented lessons learned based on reflecting on the field since the implementation of the PGDHE program. These reflections have revealed that there are numerous lessons emanating from presenting each part of the program. An analysis of the encounters throughout the implementation of the program seems to provide an opportunity for professional development based on the experiences gathered in the field to improve the offering of the program in future. It is important to systematically engage in reflective practice throughout an academic year and consistently develop strategies to address challenges as they emerge.
