Additional resources
"Learning Support Grant"
Schools should holistically and flexibly deploy their resources to cater for students’ diverse learning needs through the 3-tier Intervention Model and promote an inclusive school culture. Amongst the additional resources for schools, the Learning Support Grant (LSG) is the major one.
When planning for the use of the LSG to support students with SEN and academic low achievers (applicable to primary schools), schools should discuss with teachers and parents the needs of the students to ensure the effective use of resources.
