Gifted Education Programme: Special Programmes

The GEP is known for the wide array of Special Programmes (SP) that are offered to its pupils as extensions of the enriched curriculum. The intent of the SP is to identify and reach out to motivated and high-ability pupils in a specific domain, and offer them opportunities to deepen their interest in the field and to learn from practising professionals and academics. There is usually a mentorship component to the SP. Typically for these Programmes as well, the GE Branch works closely with organisational partners in tertiary education, the industry or the community. In certain cases, the SP are also Outreach Programmes catering to JC students or extending to mainstream pupils.

The philosophy behind the Special Programmes is that strong interest in a subject or topic provides unequalled internal motivation and acts as a powerful driving force along the way of self-directed and independent learning. The role of Special Programmes would be to stoke that special passion in the individual learner and open doors for the willing and committed.
