Analysis reveals advances and challenges in both contexts, emphasizing the importance of flexible strategies and individualized plans to promote educational equity. Both countries have gaps affecting the full implementation of policies. The study highlights the need for improved resources and inclusive practices to assist gifted students adequately.
