An exceptional project

A unique project to answer a high social demand for an earlychildhood education of excellence Gifted Education is proved to have high results with all

categories of children Gifted Education is Early Quality Childhood Education. Research

proves that every child at 3 years old is gifted: with highabilities of attention, concentration, creativity, intelligence,motivation, capacity to learn, humor and sense of right

Furthermore, research shows that intelligence and creativityforms 95-98% at early ages (10 to 12 years old)

Quality Day Care, Early, Is Tied to Achievements as anAdult

Early quality education can develop the intelligence andcreativity of children: The Abecedarian project in the USproves this result (1999). More

Gifted Children:

- Have special needs- 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

And they are a Nations WEALTH!!!!!!!!!!?

InternationalRecommendations

Iheard 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.

International Laws Supporting theeducation of gifted children

RECOMMENDATION 1248 (1994) of the

Council of Europe, Parliamentary Assembly states: Gifted children should be able to benefit from appropriate educational conditions

that would allow them to develop fully their abilities, for their own benefit and for thebenefit of society as a whole. No country can indeed afford to waste talents and itwould be a waste of human resources not to identify in good time any intellectual or

other potentialities. Adequate tools are needed for this purpose The ordinary school system should be made flexible enough to enable the needs of

high performers or talented students to be met

Council of Europe, Reply from the Committee of MinistersIn 2003, the Committee of Ministers stated in two official replies (September and December) that:

Gifted children form a category of persons with special needs; they face certain specificproblems in the regular education system for ordinary children[1]and because of that,they require proper provision within a different education system. If proper care is nottaken, on one hand, the high potential of these children for creativity is lost, and on theother hand, there is the risk of alienation, drop-out and antisocial behaviour[2].


10/41


World Conferences on InclusiveEducation

Salamanca World Conference on Special Needs Education,1994:

Schools should accommodate all children regardless of theirphysical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic or otherconditions. This should include disabled and gifted children, streetand working children, children from remote or nomadic

populations, children from linguistic, ethnic or cultural minoritiesand children from other disadvantaged or marginalised areas orgroups.

Dakar World Education Forum, 2000:

... Education systems must be inclusive, actively seeking outchildren who are not enrolled, and responding flexibly to thecircumstances and needs of all learners...


11/41


Romanian Law 17/2007 on the educationof gifted and talented

Such centers are currentlybeing developed in other countries in the Middle East,Africa, South America, which have not been integrated in

the first spreading wave. Europe is almost completelyintegrated in the system.
