Recommendations on Gifted Education Policy
GE Insights After serving as Executive Director for the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education (HKAGE) for 6.5 years, I think it’s my responsibility to write down some of my thoughts and recommendations about future gifted education in Hong Kong before returning to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) as a university faculty. I try to position myself as an independent observer (which is of course not quite possible) who has been observing how gifted education has evolved in Hong Kong in the past 15 years, hoping my experiences will be helpful to those who will take up the challenge of further developing gifted education in Hong Kong. Some of the ideas presented in this article have been flowing around in the gifted education sector for many years already (point (1) below) whereas others reflected what I have observed more recently worldwide (point (2) and (3) below).Update Date:2025-03-10
