Even though Kerala has made great progress in the field of education, tribal children in the states lag behind non- tribal students, as shown by a number of indicators, including lower enrolment rates, greater dropout rates, and worse passout rates at different educational levels. Numerous programmes and initiatives have been put in place by the government to advance indigenous community education. They trail well behind the general population and have not yet benefited from these policies and programmes. The main achievement of KMD is the significant progress the state has made in health and education compared to other Indian states. However, the tribal community, which is among the most marginalized groups, has not benefitted from these advancements. - Reproduced
