IMPACT OF EDUCATIONAL PROVISIONS IN MODEL RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS TO ENHANCE THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF TRIBAL STUDENTS IN KERALA

Abstract

A “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”, says Nelson Mandela. It is the basic condition for the development of the “whole man” and vital instrument for accelerating the well-being and property of all in every direction of his culture, tradition, customs and creed. Education is said to be excellent and efficient if it transforms an ordinary person to those capable of extraordinary performance. India now has one of the largest higher education systems in the world in terms of number of institutions and the second largest in terms of number of students.  The constitution 85th amendment act, 2002 inserted Article 21 A in the constitution of India to provide free and compulsory education for all children in the age group of 6 to 14 as a fundamental right in such a manner as the state may, by law, determine. A tribe is a traditional social group of people who follow their own customs and traditions. In this backdrop the study focuses on the role of Model Residential Schools in enhancing the educational performance of tribal students in Kerala.
