In most cases, systems have been initiated by parents of gifted children and further developed by governmental, private, or non-profit organizations. However, until the third decade of the 21st century, many prejudices, half-truths, and even lies have been widespread. One of those non-true beliefs is that education of the gifted is unnecessary once the basic education is effective, when participation in primary and high school education is high, and the rate of non-literacy is low. The truth is the opposite: when public, free education is accessible, it means that the economic situation of the county is satisfactory, that good education is supplied to a high percentage of the population – if not for all of it, and that gifted education is either a part of the general high educational level, as is the situation in Finland, for example, or that private, semi-private of community organizations can supply it to their gifted members or their children.}, number={2}, publisher={Genç Bilge Yayıncılık}
