The education of Scheduled Tribe has been a priority for the Government of India and fresh initiatives were taken for tribal development by replacing the earlier policy of indifference. After Independence, several attempts have encouraged formal education, but the Scheduled Tribes' literacy rate has remained low. They are at the bottom of the educational scale. According to the census in 2011 that the literacy rate of STs has been 58.95 % percent which is less in comparison to the general population literacy rate (74.09%). The dropout rate for these children was 63.4 percent at the elementary level and 43 percent for all categories. The enrollment of Scheduled Tribe children is near about 6% of all students with secondary/senior secondary level, representing a dismal picture at a higher level. Considering all these disparities, promoting tribal education needs fresh thinking and modified efforts should in a new direction. The new policy, schemes, and administrative creativities should focus on the enhancement of quality as well as quantitative aspects of tribal education. The present paper examines the current status of tribal education and policy in India.
