Gifted students are defined in the Elementary School Act from 2011 (Article 11): “Gifted students are students, who show higher abilities than the majority of their peers in thinking abilities or performances in different learning domains, arts, or sports. The school is obligated to provide for these students’ circumstances for learning by adapting learning contents and teaching methods to their potentials as well as participation in extracurricular activities (additional lessons, individual or group help/support) and other enrichment activities.”
