Remedial education is education which is designed to bring students who are lagging behind up to the level of achievement realized by their peers. Most commonly, remedial education comes up in the context of post secondary education which is designed to provide college students and adults with basic skills which they did not learn in high school. Educators who work in this field may work for remedial education programs at colleges and universities and for adult literacy programs which offer this type of education to people who are not interested in going to college, but could benefit from additional education.
There are a number of reasons why a student might need remedial education:
- Some students attend schools of poor quality
- don't receive adequate grounding in math and language to prepare them for college or life.
- transferred in and out of schools or missed school a lot, creating gaps in their education which contribute to lack of knowledge in core subjects.
- have learning disorders and other issues which have impaired their ability to learn
