"Some primary schools operate resource classes for students who are backward in the three basic subjects, Chinese, English and Mathematics.
"If schools have difficulties in operating resource classes, officers from the Special Education Section may visit them regularly to provide intensive remedial teaching to students in small groups," he said.
The spokesman said: "Primary and secondary students with serious learning difficulties may attend the Education Department's Resource Teaching Centres to receive intensive remedial lessons in Chinese, English and Mathematics.
"For behaviour modification, students may be referred to the Adjustment Units operated in these centres to receive remedial teaching and counselling services on a full-time or a part-time basis," he said.
The spokesman also pointed out that students with other difficulties in learning could seek assistance from the Education Department for psychological, audiological and speech therapy services.
The pamphlets have been distributed to all kindergartens, primary and secondary schools.
Interested parties may also get a copy from the District Offices and the Education Department's Special Education Services Centre and District Education Offices.
