While many students develop at a pace that the education system expects and are adequately challenged by the planned curricula for their age group, there are those who exceed these expectations and earn recognition for advanced academic skills early. Cases such as 10 year old Gianluca Webster who earned a grade one in CSEC Human and Social biology and 12 year old Kutu Ra who passed 6 subjects at the CSEC level brings into sharp focus the case of the gifted child. During this EduExchange, we will examine the issue of giftedness with specific focus on the identification and education of gifted students within the regular school system.
