ABSTRACT

The impact of migration on the education of children in India, with a focus on the perspectives of migrant children themselves. With internal migration on the rise in India, it is crucial to understand the challenges faced by children who move with their families, particularly in terms of accessing quality education. This study outlines the major elements that influence the educational experiences of migrating children, drawing on a review of the current literature as well as actual data gathered through qualitative interviews with migrant children in various regions of India. The study emphasises how socioeconomic variables, such as poverty, affect migrant children's capacity to attend school, as well as how prejudice and language hurdles contribute to the persistence of educational disparity. The report also highlights the migrant children's resiliency and autonomy in navigating these difficulties and pursuing their educational objectives. The report ends with a plea for legislation and practise that acknowledges the potential of migrant children to contribute to a more inclusive and fair society while prioritising their needs and rights.
