note = "Funding Information: The article about Egypt described that the country has known gifted education as early as the 19 century. Similar to Sudan, Egypt has specialized schools for the gifted known as the STEM schools. Another discussed issue in the study is the establishment of enrichment and grouping programs to serve gifted and talented learners. The authors reported that gifted education gets financial support from the government and the private sector. Additional support is provided in the form of scholarships to gifted students by certain institutions such as universities. Yet, the study stressed the necessity for the allocation of more budget to meet the growing needs of gifted education in the country. The study also described the existing infrastructure as reasonable since it provides the necessary requirements for caring for the gifted. However, the study cautiously expressed that the government may not be able to continue providing the necessary equipment and services due to the increasing cost of technology. Another result indicated the growing interest in nurturing exceptional students and the widespread of positive attitudes towards the issue of gifted education within the Egyptian society. Parents were also reported to be very keen to have their gifted children joined specialized schools and programs for gifted and talented students. th ",
