Abstract

Education is vital for everyone, including tribal tribes. Although the government of India has taken several attempts to improve tribal communities' education, their education level remains low. The current study aims to examine the educational status of Scheduled Tribes students in District Poonch. The study's main goal was to investigate the Access, literacy rate, enrollment, and dropout rates of scheduled tribe secondary school students. The work is completed with the use of secondary data gathered from various sources. The survey found that literacy rates among tribes in the field of education are quite low. It has also been found that tribal students have a low enrolment rate and a high dropout rate.
