Abstract:
Education is the most important element in the development of any community. India has the largest concentration of the tribal population in the world. The government has implemented many policies and programmes for the development of education of the tribal community. They are yet to reap the benefits of these policies and programmes and lag far behind the mainstream population. In Kerala, although the overall educational development indices are much above the national level, the disparity in educational attainment in tribal communities still continues and remains a dilemma. The study attempts to explore the state of affairs of education of tribals in Kerala. The present study on education of tribes in Kerala particularly concentrates on issues such as low literacy level of tribal community and high dropout rate of tribal students. The investigation reveals the educational challenges of tribal students and highlights the reasons for their school dropout. Various suggestions to improve the tribal education are formulated. The study poses significant implications in the improvement of tribal education.
