Abstract
Aspiration means the goal an individual sets for himself in a task which has intense personal significance for him or in which his ego is fully involved. Aspiration is an important factor that decides the whole achievements of a person. Educational aspiration reflects educational goals an individual sets for himself/herself. It is important as it encourages and energizes the individual to achieve them. The enrolment rate of scheduled tribes in higher education is not satisfactory. In this study researchers try to find the level of Aspiration for Higher Education among tribal higher secondary school students. 243 Tribal Residential Higher Secondary School students were taken as sample for the study. Data collected by using Scale on Aspiration for Higher Education. Results of the study shows that most of the Tribal Higher Secondary Students have average level of Aspiration for Higher Education. By using results of the study teachers and educationalists can take measures to improve the level of aspiration for higher education among tribal students.
