The King Abdul Aziz Foundation for the Gifted has signed a two-year partnership agreement with Nord Anglia International Educational Company, one of the most reputable educational development program companies in the world. Under the agreement a curriculum will be specially designed to help gifted students develop their talents and improve contact between families of the gifted and schools. Khaled Abdullah Al-Thabti, Secretary General of “Talent”, described the agreement as one of the foundation's most important plans for promoting creativity and innovation in the minds of the talented. The project will also help in integrating the gifted among other students to motivate and the later who can benefit from them to develop equal skills and aptitudes. Public and private schools will be selected for the project according to international standards to turn them into exemplary schools and teacher training grounds for instructors at the schools. Al-Thabti said the project was part of plans to turn the Kingdom into a center for nurturing the gifted by the year 2022, with the first stage of the plan targeting some 40,000 gifted students who will be selected from fourth grade primary schools until the time they graduate from secondary schools.
