Abstract

For the children of migrant labourers, particularly, seasonal and short-term migrants in distress, schooling is still a distant dream. The paper tries to highlight some important dimensions of educational exclusion of migrant children in India. The educational exclusion of migrant children must go beyond the realm of educational policy and processes, and hence, find place in the larger context of education, development and migration discourses in India. A new theoretical and policy discourse that embodies children’s everyday experiences of migration and education in the larger politics of exclusion is envisioned through this paper.
