The Gifted Education Programme (GEP), which will be discontinued in its current form from 2027, fostered curiosity and independent thinking. Its spirit of empowering bright and motivated students to take ownership of their learning should be preserved. MP Elysa Chen, who made this call in parliament on Monday (Mar 2), said the expertise built over four decades of the GEP should be spread system-wide. She also wanted to know how the Ministry of Education will better support its teachers to deliver differentiated instruction and nurture the brightest minds to thrive as resilient individuals.
