Revisiting gifted education :
"Education should assist ‘each child to achieve his or her educational potential’ (Education Act NSW 1990). However, recent research and systemic student achievement data shows that many students with high potential are not reaching the full extent of their ability. Contemporary studies have shown that many high ability students from disadvantaged backgrounds miss out on access to advanced learning programs. As a result, there are significant achievement gaps for students from disadvantaged backgrounds when compared with other groups of students. Coupled with recent developments in gifted education and talent development research, this makes it timely to review the evidence base for teaching high potential, high achieving students." -- Introduction.
