Rationale and Principles of Gifted Education Policy in Hong Kong

The mission of gifted education is to fully explore and develop the potentials of gifted students systematically and strategically by providing them with opportunities to receive education at appropriate levels in a flexible teaching and learning environment.

To cater to the educational needs of gifted students, we advocate the following principles:

  • Nurturing multiple intelligences is a fundamental goal of quality basic education and should be the mission of ALL schools;
  • Gifted education should be part of quality education. The needs of gifted students, like their less able counterparts, should basically be met in their own school;
  • A broad definition using multiple intelligences should be adopted;
  • Exploring students' thinking and creativity abilities and social skills should be the foci of gifted education.
  • Schools should provide sequential and multiple educational activities to gifted students at different levels;
  • To compile resources collected from educational parties/bodies as support to schools.

 

Implementation of Gifted Education in Hong Kong

The Education Bureau encourages schools to adopt the "Three-Tier Implementation Model" to plan and implement their school-based gifted education. The core elements advocated in gifted education, i.e. higher-order thinking skills, creativity and personal-social competence should also be immersed in whole-school curriculum planning of Level 1 and 2.

 This diagram shows the three-tier operation mode in implementing gifted education in Hong Kong
(a) Level 1 refers to using pedagogies that could tap the potential of students in creativity, critical thinking, problem solving or leadership, etc. in the regular classroom;
(b) Level 2 refers to offering pull-out programmes in disciplinary or interdisciplinary areas for the more able students within the school setting; and
(c) Level 3 refers to provision of learning opportunities for the exceptionally gifted students in the form of specialist training outside the school setting.

 

Utilisation of Student Talent Pool for the Planning and Implementation of School-based Gifted Education   
Achieving ‘Gifted Education for All’ and ‘Education for the Gifted’

To achieve the ultimate goal of ‘gifted education for all’ and ‘education for the gifted’, schools should set up and utilise the school-based student talent pool to identify and nurture gifted talents, as well as facilitating the implementation of school-based gifted education.  Please refer to the posters ‘How to Utilise “Student Talent Pool” to Plan and Implement School-based Gifted Education’ and ‘Gifted Education for All, Education for the Gifted’ for details.

Nurturing Students with Potential in STEAM

To identify and nurture students with potential in STEAM, as well as enabling them to fully unleash their potential,  the EDB encourages schools to adopt the “Three-Tier Implementation Model” and develop school-based talent pools to strengthen STEAM education.  To ensure holistic development of gifted students, schools are recommended to reinforce support to students in regard to their learning needs in STEAM and nurture gifted students with potential in STEAM.  Please refer to the posters “STEAM for Talent” and “Development of Gifted Education and Gifted Education Fund: Enhance Gifted Education and Nurture Students with Potential in STEAM“ for details.
