Abstract

Teacher colleges and universities play a crucial role in shaping the education of gifted students by training future educators. However, in South Africa, teachers do not receive specific training on how to teach gifted students. This lack of training may prevent them from recognizing the needs of gifted learners and adjusting the curriculum and teaching strategies to support their development.
