CAPACITY BUILDING OF TRIBAL TEACHERS

Teachers competency is very much related to their effectiveness. Their competency, expectations and methods of teaching influence students academic achievements. Tribal teachers scoreless in all those dimensions and this is responsible for student's low academic performance to a large extent in tribal areas. In order to improve tribal teacher's competence well-thought teachers training programmes are to be implemented. This will help them for better academic preparation, higher expectation level and use of effective teaching strategies. While recruiting teachers preference should be given to local educated youths. Knowledge of tribal dialect should be considered as an asset for interacting with students and for this teachers should be given incentives.
