Gifted Education Programme (Singapore)
The Gifted Education Programme (GEP) is a highly selective academic programme in Singapore. Initially designed to identify the 0.5% of students from each academic year with the highest verbal, mathematical and spatial ability (as determined by two rounds of tests), the programme has now been expanded to 1% of the students from each academic year.

Famous quotes containing the words education and/or programme:
“To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil’s soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education, I call it intrusion.”
—Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
