Description
A panel of experts takes multiple perspectives in examining the current state of gifted education and the ways in which it contributes to social inequality, a phenomenon that has been called the most serious problem of the 21st century. In the ideal, this relationship is not a necessary aspect of gifted education. Many supporters of gifted education work strenuously to attain fair education goals. Others are more concerned with maximizing achievements of gifted students. Structurally, some efforts to provide gifted education will exacerbate the inequality in a community, regardless of positive intentions. Panelists propose future directions for the field.
