A country is dependent on its human resource capital for boosting the growth of its economy. Henc, it makes sense for them to develop various plans and strategies that help their citizen's advance through their educational system and gain the qualifications and abilities that are in the nation's best interests. Learning difficulties is an umbrella term for academic problems of different origin. It comprises general learning deficits and low academic performance, e.g. in the context of disabilities as well as specific forms like reading, spelling and arithmetic disorders. As a consequence, many different denotations exist that try to differentiate between general and specific forms or point out the stability of the learning problem. The term learning disability usually highlights general and long-lasting learning difficulties, often linked to the field of special education. The term learning disorder characterizes learning problems in a specific field that contrast the general aptitude of the person. Due to this, parents, specialists, researchers and organizations worldwide are now sponsoring initiatives for identifying the symptoms inherent to learning difficulties and trying to cover appropriate solutions.
