Tribal education in India presents unique challenges, with various factors shaping the experiences of these communities. This book delves into the Mannan tribe, one of the five distinct communities in the Kumily panchayat of Kerala, who face notable educational disparities despite government interventions. Through a qualitative holistic case study design, this research explores the Mannan community's deep-rooted perceptions of education, examining beliefs, attitudes towards formal schooling, parental involvement, challenges, and motivating factors. The study, based on in-depth interviews with Mannan parents and guardians, reveals insights into their educational experiences and offers recommendations for culturally sensitive education programs. By identifying the factors that foster educational success, this book aims to contribute to the development of equitable and responsive educational policies, ultimately empowering the Mannan community.
