Education is considered as the backbone of development, both at the individual household and societal levels. Educating the tribal children has been a challenge for the Government for various socio-cultural, economic, ecological and administrative reasons. Government is redesigning its strategies to create an enabling ecosystem of equal opportunity for quality education for ST children.

One of the major concerns of Tribal education is the low ST literacy rate and high ST drop-out rate.

Reducing the ST drop-out rates in Class I to X is a challenge. Bringing them back and to gainfully utilizing those who have already dropped out requires extreme care, sensitivity, imagination and meticulous planning.

Through this platform, Ministry of Tribal Affairs invites ideas, suggestions, views, opinions, solutions, criticism, and best practices from citizen for innovative interventions.

Dropout of tribal children is not the only issue in Tribal Dev.. If your Ministry thinks that there are no other pressing issues, let them consult state governments implementing tribal sub-plan, Environment & Forestry Ministry that had implemented JFM where major community partners are tribal communities, your HRD ministry whose rural technology transfer initiatives remained non-starter in tribal villages, Health Ministry, which did little about tribal health, Rural Dev. to be addressed, etc .

i think there are two kinds of problems here. 1st problem is as usual of all tribal areas,poor accessibility,poor services&schools one of them. so have to work for overall welfare of the area. and second problem as usual with many kids that school is boring,not interest driven. this problm also exist in cities but rich arranges Tutions/coachings/donation &make sure kids succeed but not affordable for poor. education system needs overhaul. since problms compounding here,problem looking huge.

first figure out Y kids r dropping out?do a study,reasons might vary in various places. if kids r poor&family cant afford then i suggest govt shud mandatory collect all old books in public/private schools and distribute among poor kids. if they becoming child labor,enforce law. council parents&family. if teachers not encouraging,give them better training.if schools too far from home,need more schools. most important do aptitude test,let them study subjects of choice,poor cant arrange tutions
