MIGRATION AND SCHOOLING: EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES FACED BY CHILDREN OF MIGRANT WORKERS

CHITTA RANJAN BARMAN

Abstract

Migration is a significant socio-economic phenomenon in India, often driven by the search for livelihood opportunities. However, it has profound implications for the education of children belonging to migrant worker families. This study examines the educational challenges faced by these children, including discontinuity in schooling, language barriers, lack of access to quality education, and socio-economic vulnerabilities. Seasonal migration frequently disrupts academic progress and increases dropout rates. The paper highlights the importance of inclusive educational policies, mobile schooling systems, and community-based interventions to ensure continuity in learning. It concludes that targeted and context-specific strategies are essential to achieve educational equity for migrant children.
