This document discusses issues and challenges in implementing the Right to Education Act of 2009 in tribal areas of Jharkhand, India. It notes that literacy rates among tribes in Jharkhand are significantly lower than national averages. The key issues identified include: parents not sending children to school; poverty; lack of awareness among parents about education's importance; single teacher schools with inadequate infrastructure and facilities; and a lack of trained and qualified teachers, especially those able to teach in local languages. Addressing these social, economic, and resource-based barriers is critical to improving education access and outcomes for tribal communities per the goals of the Right to Education Act.
