The Talent and Gifted Policy in British Public Education:Background,System and Controversy
As a leading country in the field of education,the UK has always maintained a philosophy of global leadership,upholding"equality within elitism"and pursuing"excellence within fairness."The country actively promotes the early cultivation of talent in public education.The government has prioritized the"cultivation of able students"as a national strategy.Schools design multiple methods to identify talents,advance the selection procedure,and provide precise support through"acceleration""enrichment"and"strengthening."An integrated tracking and monitoring system is established in schools to assess the progress of able students.However,these policies have also sparked a series of controversies and encountered a dilemma of excellence versus fairness.The"labeling"of talent identification has aroused group anxiety,and the selection methods that focus on testing during the basic education stage have faced societal criticism.There has been a decline in the national policy for able students,and a shift in the focus of responsibility.
