Abstract

India is a populous nation with a wide range of socio-economic circumstances and a diversified population. Because of this variation, it is difficult to establish consistent criteria that address each child’s unique requirements and circumstances. There’s a chance that Indian customs and culture would clash with international norms pertaining to children’s rights. For instance, there are still many areas of the nation where child marriage is common, which violates children’s rights to education and safety from danger. Without regard to social or economic status, everyone has the fundamental human right to an education. This fundamental right, which has significant effects on the development and well-being of tribal children in the future, is sadly denied to a great number of them globally. The difficulties tribal children have in getting a good education will be discussed in this essay, along with the significance of resolving these problems in order to promote the total development of the children. The Constitution of India have the provisions for providing the education to all the children irrespective of their caste, race, sex and place of birth. Why are the tribal children not receiving high-quality education, despite the availability of numerous resources and other facilities? In India, tribal education is a crucial field that requires care and strategic approaches due to their diverse practice of customs and other things. The Education Policies, Teaching Method etc should keep in mind while framing any ruled or regulation for them in respect of education. To guarantee their comprehensive growth, these concerns will be covered in this paper.
