Seasonal Workers And The Right To Education Of Their Children In The Social Perspective Of West Bengal

Abstract

The Present study is an in-depth investigation of taking Bankura district in West Bengal, India, as a case for exploring the context of seasonal migration as a measure of livelihood and thereby compromising the educational rights of children. The researchers have employed qualitative inquiry for collecting data focused on the specific migrants of this district. From the qualitative analysis of the recorded data, it has been found that seasonal migration is a very common event in the socio-economically marginalized group, generally the SC and ST population of this district. They migrate to ‘POOB’ (the east) with all their family members. It is also found that regular school education of the children is seriously hampered by their livelihood. This study observes that the children are losing their formal education throughout the year at the cost of the livelihood of their parents. This study recommends some provisions like the introduction of farmers’/migrant workers’ schools, mobile schools, college-going students’ or trainee teachers’ community service of teaching in local areas, provision of inducting migrant school-going children at particular classes in nearest schools, continuous vigilance of local committee for the education of those children, restricting the employers to involve the children as helping hand in homemaking and letting them provide education of workers’ children etc. If these children are enthusiastically included in the education system and continue to participate in the education system, the ‘inclusive education’ as envisaged by our nation will proceed to its realization.
