SINGAPORE: Singapore's Gifted Education Programme (GEP) has had a positive effect for the whole education system, said Education Minister Ng Eng Hen.
Lessons learnt have been applied to design better and more effective ways to help all students learn.
Speaking at a dinner on Friday to mark 25 years of the GEP, Dr Ng said the ministry's gifted education branch has continuously adapted the best practices of renowned programmes internationally for the local context.
Singapore's success in the programme has also attracted international attention, with several countries sending officials to learn more about it.
To date, almost 6,000 students have graduated from the GEP.
Dr Ng said: "Many of the early pedagogical approaches that were introduced to the first batches of GEP - such as research work, infusion of critical and creative thinking skills, special programmes and their mentorship schemes - have been enhanced and are now extended to other mainstream students who can also benefit from them."
