Summary/Abstract: Talent-based education rests on an incessant supply of educational content within and outside institutional education. The main role in the inception of the program in any case lies with the teacher. The curriculum is generally suitable for working with average students, the basic problem is how to adapt it to the requirements and needs of the gifted. Gifted students require an exclusively individual approach at all stages of the teaching process, from planning to evaluation. Therefore, the role of the teacher is to provide the adroit student with the development of interests and provide access to richer, wider and enhanced content within their subject. Every child is special and all children should feel that way in our educational institutions. This includes recognizing and encouraging their talents. The acceptance of creativity by society as a normal and desirable property makes creative people circumvent resistance because they are different from others. General favorable conditions make a gifted individuals not only feel free to express their abilities and their creative needs, but they also act as a stimulus in a wider and deeper insight into various problems. Encouraging creative work and action is not only a significant problem in the work of schools but is an important issue for society as a whole.
