The Certificate course on Overcoming Academic Challenges for Children in Primary School provides an overview of the main concepts of supporting a child with academic challenges. It is important that those working with these children gain foundational knowledge, some useful approaches as well as understanding some aspects of special education. Learners will have the opportunity to learn how children with different abilities can be supported within school, home and community environments. Learners will acquire an understanding of specific types of learning needs and the types of intervention to address these needs. Practical tips on communicating and collaborating with relevant stakeholders such as parents and other members of the community to support these children will also be addressed.

Participants who have completed the graded quizzes and obtained a passing score of 70% will be eligible for Certificate of Participation. The download link to the Certificate will be available under the Progress Tab in the course site.
