Scheduled Tribes have always been a geographically and socially isolated group in Indian society, besides being a culturally-economically marginalized society. Their areas were by and large sparsely populated and had evolved over centuries their own system of maintaining law and order. The British also allowed them to live according to their own way of life. The national leaders, however, were aware of their backwardness and were eager to take measures for their betterment. As a result a few provisions were adopted in the Government of India Act 1935.During the post-Independence period, the policy makers have made sincere and concerted efforts for overall development of these groups both economically as well as educationally. Despite these efforts the performance of the tribal groups is much lower when compared to other marginalized groups like Scheduled Castes and Other Backward Castes. The available literature on tribal primary education suggests, most of the time the policymakers' approach was only to develop a national curriculum instead of giving importance to their skill-oriented, practical capabilities which has impacted their life in a more serious manner.

Language education policy is a branch of language policy. The research on language education policy in academic circles has not been developed for a long time, but the research methods and research scope have undergone significant changes. The ethnic and cultural diversity of The United States is highly similar to the coexistence of multi-ethnic languages in China, especially the bilingual teaching research. Scholars began to study the language education policy in the United States in the 1960s. Up to now, it has experienced nearly 60 years of development, producing many valuable research methods and ideal research results. This paper summarizes and analyzes the studies on language education policy in the United States in the recent 60 years, so as to draw lessons from the methods and measures that can be referenced and absorbed in the formulation of language education policy research in China.

Societies benefit from the delivery of inclusive education, lifelong learning and from active labour market policies. Therefore, this research presents a critical review of the relevant literature. It features a comparative analysis on the latest socio-economic policies that are currently being implemented in the Mediterranean island states of Malta and Cyprus. The findings suggest that both countries need to attract more students to vocational and higher education in order to improve their employment prospects. The latest European reports indicate that their labour market policies are increasingly targeting vulnerable individuals, including women, single parents, older adults and migrant workers, among others, who are not in employment, education or training. In conclusion, this contribution implies that the pursuit of continuous improvements in quality education and social cohesion can create a virtuous cycle of productivity outcomes, including job creation and societal well-being. ; peer-reviewed
