Many in the field of education as well as parents of gifted children know that many gifted programs have set
capacities due to
funding and support — children who are gifted sometimes don't get into gifted programs when space is limited, and children who are not gifted also may be accepted into gifted programs when there is
extra room.
The
funding announced today will provide a further boost to the government's drive to help create over 600,000
extra places by 2021, which will generate additional
capacity to meet local demand.
