Authors
Vijaya Guguloth, Valya Lunavath
Abstract
India has a federal system where education is
primarily the responsibility of the state government. The Indian constitution
assigns special provisions for free and compulsory education for all children
aged six to fourteen, which later became a fundamental human right. This
article examines that 95% of the sample respondents are younger, 98.7% are
married, and 70% follow the nuclear family system. All respondents practice the
Hindu religion, and they speak the Gorboli and Telugu languages; 26% of tribal
households only have income per month, and 74% of tribal households have annual
income. This indicates a higher level of low income in tribal households. The
majority, 72% of tribal households, pay between 11 to 25 thousand as school
fees, and more than 62% of households are spending on books. Stationery
expenditures are between 2 to 3 thousand, 77% of tribal households’ spending on
students' utilities is between 2 to 4 thousand per annum, and the low-level
income of tribal households is a higher expenditure on primary education. This
paper discusses tribal households’ spending on primary education.
