Abstract: This editorial showcases several papers on research or program development initiatives that came to our attention through the World Council Biennial Conference in Turkey last August. The first paper was shared with us by Dr. Ivan Ferbežer from the University of Maribor. His work identified factors which have facilitated or impeded gifted education in Slovenia based on a content analysis of documents and of reported experiences by educators. Dr. Abdullah Al-Nafie, from the Ministry of Education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, presented a paper regarding the development of specialized centers for the top 1-2% percent of students in his country. An abstract of the results from the dissertation research of Dr. Ramon Mohandas was the basis for the third study presented. His work amplified our understanding of student performance in mathematics and science in Indonesia. The final study, co-authored by L. J. Rasanayagam and Tan Lay Choofrom the Ministry of Education in Singapore, investigated the impact of a new curriculum in science on students’ acquisition of science process skills.
