What is
Giftedness
There is no ONE definition for the Gifted or Talented Child. Giftedness is involuntary – a natural gift. It gives no cause for claims of elitism.
Out of every hundred children, approximately five can be classified as “gifted”, yet only a small proportion may be identified as such in school.
