Background of Education system in Tribal areas

Despite the efforts made by the independent India so far and a great number of experimentations in the process of education have been undertaken or some of them are underway, but the real needs of the people and the country have not been fulfilled so far. Some of the common or simple reasons which hindrance to the development process and causes disparities for the smooth management of education are not far to seek.

Education policy attend classes more children get less drop-outs. In regular attendance, introduced several mid-day meals and VII (if not mistaken).
the quantity of not the quality.

Tribal children
  1. The present ensures that students regularly, more and admitted and there be order to ensure the government has measures such as the no failure upto class Here, the stress is on students in school,

2:Rural and tribal residents/communities are very different from urban areas. Mostly they are lack of awareness about the growing educational importance. Many schools in rural areas do not have good buildings, teachers and proper teaching aids. The government run schools in rural areas, which mainly cater the needs of poor section of people generally, also present an unpleasant picture.

  1. There is a clear demarcation found between the rich and the poor in respect of education in big towns and cities. The children of the rich read in private schools, with good infrastructure and teaching environment, big buildings, libraries, playgrounds etc and the poor children in ill-equipped government schools. Obviously the children belonging to high-land get a good quality of education and the poor have to be contented with poor standard.
  2. The quality of education is becoming expensive day by day as the private elitist schools charge exorbitant fees which are beyond the reach of millions of Indians. They create a wedge between the haves and the have-nots and widen the disparities between the rich and the poor to the betterment of upper classes of the society.

5) There is a general tendency with the school authorities or institutions towards prescribing more and more costly text books or various types of guides and solution books. Even for very small kids and small classes a number of note-books and guides and text-books are being prescribed by the school authorities. The result is that the poor students are unable to buy all those required books and guides and so, find it difficult to keep pace with their richer counterparts. Government schools generally do not have proper facilities for games and sports and other co-curricular activities and so, fail to provide such basic facilities for the personality development of the students. Lack of proper building, rooms, furniture, blackboards and other teaching aids, laboratories, libraries and reading rooms have been hampering the growth and development of education at the grass root level. The schools in tribal, rural, semi-urban areas must be equipped well so as to help raise the educational standard of our country. They must be provided with proper buildings, good infrastructure, proper teaching staff and all other facilities for imparting quality education to the students. The teachers who are posted in such areas must possess a true sense of devotion and dedication to the cause of education so that the students can be motivated and inspired to work hard, win success and glory and help in achieving the universalization of education in our country.

6) All basic education should be nationalized and the government should ensure that all schools are equipped with all facilities so that even the children of the upper crust of the society are to depend on these institutions only.

7) In many schools, where the number of students are more, the children are deprived of getting personal attention from the teacher, The teacher cannot monitor all the students freely and easily.
8) Another disturbing feature is the commercialisation of education at every level. The management of some reputed schools do not hesitate to fleece parents by getting huge sums of money for admission and school fees.
SCT strives towards skill development of the tribal youths and adolescent girls from its inception. Apart from SCT also endeavours towards imparting education to dropout girls and boys from mainstream of education. During the financial year SD International School has been established at Naranpur village which is very close to Keonjhar District Head quarter. In a survey we found that, tribal families in this village are/were in drastic conditions to meet the education need of their children. In this context, we hired a building and started the school for the dropouts. The main objective of our endeavours to address the livelihood issues of the tribal family and mainstreaming the education of their children without any cost. Our school have more than 100 students with highly professional instructors/wardens to impart education.
