Low Achievers, Causes and Educational Strategies

Anand Valmiki

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

This paper identifies the causes behind the low achievement among certain sections of school children. Various factors such as caste, class, gender, tribe, language, religion, rural, urban-slums etc., play a very crucial role in the educational achievement of the hitherto excluded groups and that suffer from social disadvantage. This paper is an attempt to highlight the educational adaptations that would enhance the achievement patterns of the disadvantaged children. Deriving from the school experiences for over a more than one and half decade, this paper explicates the causes, problems of low achievers and highlights the strategies to enhance the academic achievement of the low achievers in the schools.
