A "migrant worker" is a person who either migrates within their home country or outside for labour. Since Migrant workers usually do not stay permanently in a region in which they work, their families and children have to suffer because they need to adjust to a new atmosphere, and it is difficult for their children to get admission to schools and follow a new language. This study focuses on the challenges faced with respect to Learning and academic achievement, Medium of instruction, and Classroom Environment. The study used a qualitative design. The tool used for the study is a semi-structured interview schedule prepared by the investigator.
