Abstract
Tribal children in India face numerous challenges that hinder their educational attainment. These issues stem from socio-economic, cultural, and infrastructural barriers that persist despite various governmental and non-governmental efforts to promote inclusive education. This paper explores the major problems affecting the education of tribal children in India, including poverty, language barriers, inadequate infrastructure, and cultural alienation. It also discusses potential solutions and the need for tailored educational policies to bridge the educational gap between tribal and non-tribal populations.
