The book is the first ever comprehensive study of tribal education in India. It deals with five major sub-themes of tribal educationâ€”general problems and their solution; non-tribal culture biases in education; tribal culture as positive educational resources; implications of researches and educational programmes abroad for tribal education in India and preparation of materials for tribal learners. Dr. Kunduâ€™s first-hand experiences with the tribals and their education in India and that of the gypsies of England and the American Indians of the U.S. provide new perspectives to the subject. The book will be immensely useful to the syllabus and course designers, textbook writers and test-makers, teachers, teacher trainers and researchers, and to anyone concerned with tribals and their education in India.
