Abstract

The present study analyses prior research to examine the educational status of workers and their children who are employed in tea estates and to explore whether they face any challenges in accessing

Education. Additionally, the study explores the potential role of educational policies, acts, and initiatives in facilitating the educational success of these workers’ children. This study is entirely based on secondary data sources. Various online search engines, such as Google Search, Google Scholar, Academia.edu, Shodhganga Search, Shodhgangotri, ERIC, EBSCO, BASE, RefSeek, JURN, Scite.ai, and others, were used to gather the required data. Upon thorough investigation, the study identifies certain deficiencies in the educational access of these children and proposes measures to address these issues, thereby enabling them to access education and effect changes in their lifestyles, societal standing, and economic sectors
