remedial education
Help for struggling
Remedial education is instruction designed to bring students up to expected skill levels, addressing gaps in foundational knowledge like reading or math.
It's common in colleges where incoming students aren't prepared for standard coursework: She had to take remedial math before enrolling in the required courses.
The term carries some stigma, implying deficiency rather than different preparation.
