In this study the evolution of the gifted and talented education was
explored, followed by a discussion of disparity between the
western and eastern culture in terms of perceptions of the
gifted and talented, diagnosis of the gifted and talented,

cultures. Disparity in gifted education between rural and
urban areas in China was also discussed in this paper.
Recommendations about how to properly serve the gifted and
talented were provided.
