Remedial Education Of High School Students: Effects And Challenges

Abstract

With an increasing understanding of the benefits of education, the “schooling for everyone” campaign is rapidly unfolding in every corner of the world. However, recent data have revealed a significant number of students lagging behind in the learning curve. Numerous remedial interventions have been proposed and implemented globally to mitigate the issues generated due to the learning gap among slow learners. The present review critically discusses the effects of such remedial educational interventions on the academic achievement of students, its long-term effects and the various challenges faced while implementing such interventions at a global level. Additionally, the present study reviews the effects of various interventions on the sociological and psychological behaviour of these students. The review provides a concise summary of the existing literature, which will be beneficial for the academicians, researchers, educationists, and policy makers to develop new educational paradigms.
