Abstract: Schedule Tribal education is a crucial component of the process's empowerment. Tribal education and empowerment enables tribal communities to secure access to education and the control of their land, forest, and water resources, as well as to sustain and promote viable alternatives for securing their livelihoods, meeting both basic needs and ensuring access to education. In 2011, only 63.1 percent of tribes had literacy rates. The ability of tribal communities to actively participate in local governance making decisions that affect their own lives is made possible through empowerment. Typically, Schedule Tribal students assist their parents with their day-to-day tasks. Additionally, the tribal communities are now almost entirely dependent on government kits and rations for survival, the Tribal children's education is disrupted, and their mental health is impacted, and many of the male members of their Tribal communities do not have access to basic human rights, education, or basic knowledge due to alcohol addiction. In this context, higher education is necessary because literate and wealthy communities around the world can protect themselves with knowledge and awareness during difficult times, whereas vulnerable populations face a completely different situation. Schedule a nation's socio-cultural and economic growth are greatly influenced by tribal higher education. Higher education serves to educate tribal students about how to empower disadvantaged groups to overcome poverty and ensure equitable development by providing them with training and skills. Higher education for tribal people in India lags behind that of other social groups when it comes to enrolling in higher education, despite the fact that it is a more effective tool for upward social mobility and the changing social conditions. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the structural and functional factors that contribute to the low enrolment of Schedule Tribal students in postsecondary tutoring and to propose a social change support that would provide somewhere to stay their inclusion in education policy.
