Household Educational Level and its Determinants among Kora Tribes of Malda District of West Bengal, India

Author(s) Mr. ASIT PAUL

Abstract The household educational level (HEL) of tribal people is a critical determinant of socio-economic development and empowerment, particularly in marginalized and underdeveloped regions. This study explores the educational level and its key determinants among Kora tribal households in the Malda district, West Bengal, India. Both quantitative household surveys and qualitative interviews were conducted in selected villages within one of the tribal-dominated blocks named Gazole in Malda district. The study analyzed the educational status across age groups and genders. It investigated the influence of factors such as household income, educational status of parents, occupation, women status in the family, household size, and other social norms. For achieving the proper educational level, factors like economic constraints, engagement in agricultural or wage labour, early marriage, and limited access to educational infrastructure have emerged as major obstacles to the tribal people of the study area. To find out the crucial factors for HEL, multiple regression technique has been applied. Findings reveal that three factors such as household income, women status in the family, and occupation come out as the most significant elements determining the HEL. These have the direct and positive relation with the HEL. The study reveals the urgent requirement for targeted policy involvement to improve educational infrastructure, expanding financial aid, enhancing community awareness, and promoting culturally sensitive curriculum. It concludes that holistic development strategies integrating education with livelihood support is requisite to uplift the educational status of the Kora tribal community in Malda district.
