Why do the children from Dalit and Adivasi community leave school?    

Answer:

         

There are several reasons for, why children from Dalit/ Adivasi and Muslim communities leave school. They are as follows:

(i) Many children leave schools because they are discriminated against by their teachers and classmates.

(ii) Schools are not close to people's homes, and hardly any transport is available so the parents may not be willing to send their children to far off places.

(iii) Many families are poor and unable to bear the cost of educating all their children.

(iv) In many parts of the country, especially in rural and poor areas/ there are no proper schools and teachers who can teach on a regular basis.
