Abstract

This article discusses the meaning of Educationally the tribal population is at different levels of development but overall the formal education has very little impact on tribal groups. Earlier governments had no direct program for their education, but in the subsequent years, the reservation policy has made some changes. There are many reasons for low level of education among the tribal people: formal education is not considered necessary to discharge their socialobligations. Superstitions and myths play an important role in rejecting education. Most tribes live in abject poverty. it is not easy forthem to send their children to schools. As they are considered extra helping hands. The formal schools do not hold any special interest for the children. Most of the tribes are located in interior and remote areas where teachers would not like to go from outside.
