School of Remedial Studies
We believe that Remedial studies play a crucial role in the educational journey of polytechnic students who do not meet the NTBE criteria to begin a National Diploma at once. We admit:
- applicants who have no results because they never sat for any senior examination
- applicants whose results do not meet NBTE requirement for ND programmes
- applicants whose results, though complete, could not pass our ND admission examination

Some people often think that remedials is a waste of time and most often, they are right: if after spending months in a remedial study and the student still have learning gaps and cannot secure admission to study his course of choice, then what is the use?
Academic staff at Babanawa understand that students come from diverse educational backgrounds and may have varying levels of preparation in different subjects. Our remedial studies help students to identify and address learning gaps that may exist due to differences in prior education, ensuring that all students have a strong foundation to build upon.
Babanawa remedial programmes often involve one-on-one interactions, allowing instructors to focus on the specific needs of each student. This personalized attention helps students grasp concepts more effectively and fosters a better understanding of the subject matter. This has helped to keep failure rates in our remedial school well below 2% in the last 2 years.
We have taken time to deliberately build students’ confidence, improve academic performance in a conducive learning environment, prevent dropout rates later in future by tailoring students’ learning to their needs and pace, enhancing core skills to enable them to remedy their senior secondary school examination certificates and gain admission into future programmes, be it at the polytechnic or university.
