«Εκπαίδευση χαρισματικών μαθητών/τριών - Η περίπτωση της Ιαπωνίας»

Abstract

The main factor in Japan contributing to the growth and development of gifted education has been the efforts of the private sector. Many private schools and youth organizations all exist which serve gifted youth. Private schools as centers of excellence have had a long history in Japan.

Τhe concept of giftedness is not overtly accepted within the Japanese public educational system. Νevertheless recent years the realization that many of the gifted students during the years of compulsory education are disinterested and bored has caused the Japanese education system to attempt enrichment and acceleration models which provide special attention to the gifted student. Japan has made some special provisions at the secondary level for those who exhibit special gifts or talents.
