Starting From the Beginning: On Building A School And Community-Based System Supporting The GiftedStarting From the Beginning: On Building A School And Community-Based System Supporting The Gifted

Hanna David

Open access

Special education for the gifted has become necessary when more countries and
societies have "joined the club" not only as believers in compulsory education but also
as actively practicing it. This process has been accelerated with the increasing
population strata understanding the importance of basic and post-elementary
education, and showing willingness to postpone the financial benefit of the younger
generation joining the work force. The result has been the rewarding of the more
educated socially and politically, in addition to the increasing salary gap between the
more and the less educated. At this point it was made clear that the time of special
education for the more able has come.
