The minister of Education, Sébastien Proulx, says that schools have a “responsibility” to gifted students who are bored in class and made the bet that the addition of future services in the school system will be beneficial for them also.

At the end of the week, The Newspaper published a story on gifted students who are bored in school and feel left out. In Quebec, there is no educational policy on the gifted in the school system.

“Yes, it made it hard to read it because what’s more, these people have an extraordinary potential”, launched by the minister Proulx.

The latter says that the school has, however, a “liability” in this chapter, since these are the institutions that must make the identification of the needs of their students, in order to know how to help these students to surpass themselves. “We need to give them particular attention and this is not forbidden to make them do more than what the program provides,” adds the minister.

Mr. Proulx hope that the addition of resources in the school system will also pay more attention to those students who have special needs. “When there will be more staff support for students, there may also be services which will be devolved. They will have more time to work with them,” he argued.
