Ejona Icka, Valentina Gulevska

Abstract


A central feature of the gifted experience is their moral sensitivity, which is essential to the welfare of the entire society. Gifted and talented children are those identified by professionally qualified persons who, by virtue of outstanding abilities, are capable of high performance. These are children who require differential educational programs and/or services beyond those provided by the regular school program in order to realize their contribution to self and the society.

The aim of this paper is to emphasize the main characteristics of giftedness and morality as two concepts.

Working with talented and gifted students is quite complex and only in certain cases and in rare situations can it be done according to the approved curricula for this type of students.

In most countries with a low standard of living and poor conditions in education, it is almost impossible to discover these students and to organize special lessons with them.

Based on the existing literature that deals with gifted and talented children as well as their relationship with teachers and working conditions, we can conclude that all over the world, special efforts are made to discover and develop these children at any level of education. that are revealed.

There is no reliable scientific data in the literature that the same is done in underdeveloped and developing countries
