IN(EQUALITY) IN EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES OF GIFTED CHILDREN IN INSTITUTIONAL FOSTER CARE

Summary/Abstract: The issue of abilities and talents is of great importance, as young people are required to possess a solid education and creativity, which talented people can certainly benefit from, especially if they are surrounded by adequate education and a supportive family environment. Unfortunately, the lat- ter aspect is lacking in children in foster care (especially in institutional care). The researches and analyses of analyzed phenomenon allow to conclude that children in foster care are often a neglected group in terms of upbringing, education, personal models, values, and life priorities. Foster care should be an educational environment designed to compensate for deficiencies in the care, upbring- ing, or education of the child entrusted to it, including gifted children. Research on the education- al opportunities for gifted foster care children was carried out in 6 Polish voivodeships: Lublin, Warmia-Masuria, Podlasie, Subcarpathia, Świętokrzyskie and Masovia, over a two years period – from April 2018 to June 2020. The research was quantitative and qualitative in nature. It allowed authors to conclude that a gifted child in institutional care faces numerous problems, including the lack of adequate support from both educational institutions and the foster care system in developing passions, interests, and abilities.
