Girls' Socialisation and Schooling

Girls' Socialisation and Schooling: Exploring Landscapes of Tribal India, 1st Edition, examines the socialisation process across domestic, community, and institutional spheres to determine its effect on girls' educational participation and school life expectancy in India. Written for scholars in education, gender studies, sociology, and development studies, the volume frames gendered education through structural academic analysis.

The narrative explores the disempowering socialisation mechanisms and dropout processes that affect tribal, Scheduled Caste, and Other Backward Classes (OBC) girls. By analyzing societal, cultural, and institutional barriers, the text charts the factors that cause students to leave formal schooling before completing their secondary studies.

Containing three black-and-white illustrations across 188 pages, this research volume offers empirical clarity on educational retention. It assists educators and public policymakers who evaluate rural learning outcomes and structural gender equality initiatives in contemporary educational policy.
