(Engaging Tribal teachers in primary schools)
To ensure proper education to tribal children, one educated tribal youth (men or women) preferably with TTC/B.Ed qualification from the same locality with knowledge in tribal dialect and Malayalam will be selected and trained to function as teacher/education facilitator in all Primary Schools according to the strength of tribal students. Along with teaching, these teachers will also be entrusted to addressing the language issues of tribal children, reducing drop outs and ensuring cent per cent enrolment of tribal children, intensive coaching of tribal students, acting as social worker and facilitator for tribal children. This person would be able to liaise between the community and the educational institutions, and at the same time take care of the child.
