In the Call for Papers for this 2020 Centre for Black and African Arts and Civilization (CBAAC) conference on “Racism, Racial Inequality and the Struggles of the global African for survival in the 21^st Century,” the following convenient truths are delineated as the historical signposts for racism against global Africans: (a) the enslavement and displacement of Africans, (b) the colonization of Africans, and (c) the integration of Africans into a bipolar global system. While not minimizing the magnitudes and ramifications of these aspects for the persistent racism against the global African, I also argue in this paper that the analysis of this phenomenon is incomplete without including the following two inconvenient truths: (1) the failure to heed the call of early Pan-Africanists to establish a Union of African States and (2) the existence of intra-racial discrimination and Black-on-Black violence. Thus, employing the Ancient Kemetian approach of ai-[t] m’ såati (meaning the “analysis of discrimination and hypocrisy”), I demonstrate that only by analyzing both the preceding convenient and inconvenient truths can Global Africans unearth the necessary African-centered answers to confront the ills of the racism that has and continues to be afflicted upon them. Consequently, instead of the slogan “Black Lives Matter,” which has become vacuous, I suggest the Ancient Kemetian notion of neb ānkh iw neter khe-t (meaning “every life is sacred”), which found its way into the tenets of the Abrahamic faiths—i.e. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—as the precept to guide global Africans in their fight against racism.

Education is viewed as the most essential and important tool for removing the barriers of backwardness and marginalization of any society and bringing out an all-around socio-economic development for each and every community. 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.
