Remedial education (also known as developmental education, basic skills education, compensatory education, preparatory education, and academic upgrading) is assigned to assist students in order to achieve expected competencies in core academic skills such as literacy and numeracy. Effective remedial measures include:

1. Systematic approach


2. Sequential, paced guidance


3. Regular progress monitoring


4. Experience-based readiness checks


5. Varied teaching methods


6. Small group guidance

In a productive remedial programme, a qualified instructor with specialized expertise is in charge of the instruction. This is important for all students, including those with learning and cognitive disabilities.
