Talents are manifested regardless of children’s age, gender, culture, or country of origin. All over the world, young people are assessed in their intellectual and socio-emotional development, and a wide range of educational practices exist to serve gifted students. This article provides an overview of the status of gifted education in Argentina. A study was conducted to examine definitions, policies, research, and practices for gifted and talented children in this southern part of the Western Hemisphere. To gather information, a closed-and open-ended questionnaire was developed, interviews took place, and historical information was sought. Two hundred respondents completed a questionnaire on attitudes about giftedness. They included teachers, administrators, and government representatives. There were 3 major findings of this study across all respondents: (a) a high interest in talent development for Argentinean students, (b) the absence of gifted programs, and (c) the scarcity of information and training of educators and administrators
