The giftedness of individuals represents a great potential for any society and an opportunity for an individual to enrich that society in the economic, cultural, scientific or any other field of human activity. It represents the ability of an individual to achieve above-average results with a certain amount of effort and commitment. The task of every modern society is to use the giftedness of the individual in order to do the best of his abilities during his life, both towards society and in fulfilling his own aspirations and expectations. In children, giftedness is especially important because the great ability of learning and imagination inherent in children allows the emergence of many ideas that would be difficult for adults to come to because of their knowledge and prejudices. It is often said in scientific circles that openness of mind and re-examination of all scientific authorities and dogmas is the best path to the greatest discoveries. Therefore, it is important to recognize a gifted child at an early age and enable him to progress as quickly and efficiently as possible in acquiring knowledge and competencies. The role of the education system in recognizing, monitoring and helping gifted children is enormous. Unlike parents, who are generally subjective in evaluating a child's potential, the education systemcan look at the child's real abilities much more objectively. Teachers can recognize a gifted child by many characteristics, such as: above-average ability of understanding, reasoning and acquiring ideas, great ability of generalizing and recognizing connections and relationships, understanding meaning, great intellectual curiosity, ability to work independently, great ability of observation, perseverance in solving problems and similar. Thanks to the effort and enthusiasm of teaching staff, but above all a systematic approach to the education system, it is possible to create creative individuals who will be the beacons of society's progress in economic, scientific, artistic, sports or any other field of human activity.
