SCHOOLS FOR GIFTED CHILDREN

Recent government policy has resulted in the creation of a series of schools for gifted children. Candidates are identified early through test results and school reports and then, given parental consent, transferred to special local schools. They are taught by university professors and have all their expenses paid for by the state. More often than not, they are also sent abroad to study subjects the government deems necessary. In exchange, they are expected to return to Iran and help the governnment through service for a set number of years.
