Cabinet has approved the implementation of a Gifted and Talented Edu­cation (GATE) programme in Ghana, aimed at providing enhanced and accel­erated education for gifted and talented children. The GATE programme will cater to learners with exceptional abilities, talents, and potential for accomplishments, requiring special provisions to meet their educational needs. These children typically exhibit exceptional achievements or po­tentials in areas such as high-level intelligence, specific aptitudes, creative thinking, superior talent in visual and performing arts, natural leadership, and outstand­ing performance in athletics or mechanical skills. Despite being a key priority in most educational systems world­wide, GATE has not been intro­duced in Ghana's publicly-funded or private education sector. The Education Strategic Plan (2018-2030) also fails to highlight GATE education as a key strategy for socio-economic transforma­tion.
