Abstract
This chapter addresses the status of gifted education in several Middle Eastern countries. It includes a brief history and description of the main studies that informed the development of subsequent gifted education in the Arab countries, which constitute the majority of countries in the Middle East. I describe the institutional, public, and private support for gifted students in six Middle Eastern countries, and explain why I choose to focus on these countries and not some of the other countries in this region. The chapter concludes with a list of tests in use for identifying giftedness in the relevant languages: Arabic and Hebrew (See Appendix 8.1).
