The questionnaire consists of (45) items, divided to (5) domains that measure the effects of remediation on weak students’ achievement. Lickert five points scale was adopted. The study was reliable with a (0.94) Alpha Cronbach. Conclusions: * There were significant differences at (a=0,05) in the remedial education program efficiency on students’ achievement due to gender variable leaning towards female teachers. While there were no significant differences due to specialization and residence variables.
