VISIT OF PROFESSOR LIANNE HOOGEVEEN, FROM THE NETHERLANDS

Title: Individualized inclusion: Utopia or the Best of both Worlds? Education has always played an important role in the development of countries (Green, 2013), but the goal of education has changed over time, from drill and memorization of words, sentences, and facts in the 17th and 18th century , via 19th century European nationalism – education has the power to shape the future of nations as well as individuals-, to present education. Today, Europeans acknowledge that education is a fundamental right for everyone, which means that every European country should develop the most appropriate education in relation to the needs of all students and enable all students to develop their potential to the fullest (Eurydice, 2006, 2014). In 1994, the Council of Europe highlighted the special educational needs of students with exceptional potential, stating that gifted children should be able to benefit from appropriate educational conditions that would allow them to develop their abilities fully. The challenge is: how can we do that, taking our wish to inclusion in account? That’s where this presentation is about: how can we meet the educational needs of students with exceptional potential without being unfair to the other students.
