Gifted students also need to be identified and specialized training. Talents will not be buried. However, Hong Kong has always lacked a complete gifted model to train students. Some gifted students in traditional schools often feel that it takes a lot of time.


Gifted students also need to be identified and specialized training. Talents will not be buried. However, Hong Kong has always lacked a complete gifted model to train students. Some gifted students in traditional schools often feel that it takes a lot of time to learn their existing knowledge. .

Therefore, some schools have launched the first full-time class-skipable gifted education curriculum in Hong Kong, hoping to teach students in accordance with their aptitude.


In the new school year, Chongzheng Middle School will launch a full-time, skip-level complete middle school curriculum for the first time in Hong Kong, hoping to discover and develop students' strengths.

The courses are mainly based on British secondary schools IGCSE (GCSE) and AL (GCE), offering year 7 to year 13 levels.

It is equivalent to Secondary One to Secondary Seven. As long as students pass the school's internal examinations and a set of special assessments made by the team, they will have the opportunity to skip grades and complete the entire secondary school in a shorter period of time.

The "gifted class" secondary school curriculum based on British secondary schools IGCSE and AL is divided into Year7 to Year13.

Students can enter the "gifted class" as long as they pass a series of comprehension, memory and expression assessments; if they complete the ISCSE course early, they can even skip to AL.

The 10-year-old Ke Xiding has higher memory and comprehension skills than his peers, and he can draw inferences from other things.

However, in the past, in regular schools, homework was mainly copying. There was a lot of homework, even late at night, but he consciously mastered the relevant knowledge, "I know how to do it many times."

Teachers often complain about "daydreaming" in class, but in fact, Ke Xiding already understands most of the teaching content and feels that class is too boring.

After receiving gifted teaching, as long as the teacher teaches advanced courses, he will be particularly focused and excited, and he is particularly interested in some unknowable and favorite content.

The ability of gifted students may be better than others, but skipping grades may not be able to integrate into senior students. Chongzheng Middle School said that teachers will provide guidance to students according to their individual circumstances, emphasizing that skipping grades is not necessarily for faster advancement, but to allow students to use more time Develop personal interests.

The Academy of Gifted Education launched a mentoring course in September, hoping to train gifted and socially capable experts
