Culture Sensitive and Child Friendly Curriculum Framework for Tribal School Education

Abstract

A number of efforts have been initiated by the state in collaboration with various non-governmental organizations for extending quality schooling and to raise academic standards for providing opportunities to tribes in the national and global market. In spite of many top-level interventions, the present status of tribal education is not satisfactory and the schooling system has not become children and community centric. There is an immediate need to rethink and critically reflect on the fundamental assumptions and basic underpinnings of the teaching learning processes and most importantly the curricular practices in the educational settings. This paper is an attempt construct culture sensitive and child friendly curriculum framework for tribal school education.
