How can a student overcome his backwardness in learning and achieve to his maximum potential?

Explanation

The correct answer is Provide remedial coaching.

Key Points:

• Backward pupil is one who compared with other pupils the same chronological age shows marked educational deficiency.
• The educational backwardness may be other specific or general.
• Slowness in arithmetic, spelling or history, in learning, reading, geography or science may be due to intellectual deficiency or dullness, but there are many children who are scholastically backward but not dull.
• In order to help educationally a backward child, it is necessary to find out, at first, the cause or causes of his backwardness.
• Once the cause or causes have been discovered, we should plan an integrated course of action with a view to educating him.
• The school doctor, parents, teachers, a visiting teacher, if any, a school social worker if any, the school counsellor or psychologist all should work together in order that the correct causes are discovered and remedies are made available.
• Many of the lessons learned by children have to be unlearned, before they can understand the advanced subject-matter.
• For this “remedial teaching” is needed which can be done either with an individual or with a small group of children.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.
