This review of some recent papers revealed the importance of early identification of giftedness and development of their talents from early childhood. Some country differences in conceptualising and implementing gifted education programmes were noted. Discriminations of various types leading to inequities and clear rural-urban divide are widespread among different countries. There is no evidence of the offered solutions being attempted at practical levels. Only some theoretical frameworks were available in the reviewed papers. How the actual content of a gifted education curriculum will look like, is still to be clear. Not many practical testing and validation of the theoretical models are available.
