The Education & Manpower Bureau has released a comprehensive range of teaching resources on learning difficulties.

Principal Assistant Secretary for Education & Manpower (School Administration & Support) Betty Ip said the aim is to help students develop to their full potential. The key to success will hinge on early identification and support, a whole-school approach, and home-school and cross-sectoral co-operation.

With the introduction of an assessment tool for Primary One in recent years, schools, teachers and parents now have a better understanding of specific learning difficulties and hence more students in need are identified.

"In parallel, we have provided more teaching resources, enhanced teacher training and encourage parents' participation," Mrs Ip said.

Comprising a learning behaviour checklist, computer software, teaching guides and learning and support plans for schools, these resources can equip teachers and parents with better skills to aid students with special difficulties.
