Why a Gifted Education Center?

- Because high ability children have special education needs and are a vulnerable social group

- They waste- Most of the them are underachivers (50% according to

research)- Get cornered in the society- They risk alienation and grow to become antisocial- As a society we need to provide equal chances of

development to all children- Because we need to provide “an adequate educational

environment for high ability learners which allows them to fully exploit their potential for their own, as well as for the society’s benefit.” (Art. 3/ Law 17/2007)

International Recommendations“I heard about plans to establish a kindergarten

for gifted children and take this opportunity to

strongly support this promising endeavour, which

not only gives necessary developmental input to

the individual children, but is a big step forward to

a gifted education, dealing with differentiation in

heterogeneity, from which finally all children and

lastly the society will get profit….
