Achievement level of the children of daily wage workers: a study

Since the dawn of civilisation, education and development have been intrinsically linked through bi – directional causality. Inequalities between the educational levels of different groups have been both the cause and the effect of the differentials between their levels of socio – economic development. This is especially true of the levels of literacy, which provides the essential pre – conditions for educational developments. The present study is based on “Achievement level of the children of Daily Wage Workers: A Study” to examine the learner's achievement level in relation to the other factors and conducted in the government run schools of Birbhum district of West Bengal. The sample consisted of 300 children of age group 6–14 years.
