Helping students with behaviour problems
The Education Department has produced 100,000 copies of the third edition of a pamphlet on the provision of educational and social services in helping children with behaviour problems.
A spokesman for the department said the pamphlet "Helping Pupils with Behaviour Problems" was aimed at assisting parents and teachers to have a better understanding of the existing services for pupils with behaviour problems and to make the best use of these services when necessary.
The spokesman said some of the programmes were organised by the department to meet children's special needs in their own schools.
He said students with behavioural problems might obtain educational and personal guidance from guidance teachers in primary schools while school social workers and guidance teachers were available in secondary schools.
"For those having more serious learning difficulties, peripatetic teaching and remedial support are provided in the schools to help them cope with the curriculum," the spokesman said.
