A TEACHER'S PERSPECTIVE OF THE GIFTED EDUCATION PROGRAMME IN SINGAPORE

Ms Koh Wee Lih and Dr. Sitsofe E. Anku

ABSTRACT

Through the provision of an enriched curriculum, the Gifted Education
Programme(GEP) in Singapore seeks to meet the needs of pupils who are
intellectually gifted. Pupils are selected at the end of Primary 3
based on their language, numerical, and general abilities. Having been
involved with these pupils for about a year, thorough observation is
identified as one of the several characteristics that these pupils
possess. Some insights into the gifted pupils and the GEP structure in
Singapore are shared in this paper.
