Abstract

This article explores the ethical considerations and significant challenges surrounding Tribal Education in India. It examines the ethical imperative of providing culturally sensitive and relevant education that respects the indigenous knowledge systems and languages of Scheduled Tribes (STs). The paper discusses critical challenges, including geographic isolation, poverty, language barriers, the need for culturally appropriate curricula, and the scarcity of qualified and sensitive teaching staff. It argues that a successful and ethical approach requires a policy shift toward inclusive education, emphasizing local participation and the preservation of tribal identity alongside academic attainment.
