Gifted Education Revived

The Creation of Knowledge Wealth

The academies created knowledge, and knowledge became wealth. Now at the start of the 21st century, knowledge has increasingly come to mean not only wealth but power. A massive change, however, is at this very moment taking place. With the extraordinary acceleration of computer technology, all knowledge is becoming a common base, as well as being universally and instantaneously available. In addition the accumulation and out-pouring of this widely accssesible data is becoming a problem in its own right, causing "information overload" and costly physical and mental stress. What was once a strength is in many cases becoming a growing weakness. The Gifted Academy was established to work not only on Exploring, Nourishing, Training Gifted and Talented Individuals; the Gifted Academy is THE place where competencies and abilities are explored and developed.
