Reality and Criticism of Giftedness in the Spanish Education System.

The paper tries to be a critical analysis of and a theoretical reflection on minority students: gift ed children in the Spanish education system. To carry out this study and achieve the objectives set up, we took into account a qualitative methodology, framed within the constructivist paradigm in the social sciences. Being a gift ed child in Spain is a problem because gift ed children are not being adequately addressed, as the Ministry of Education recognizes. An objective analysis of the current situation can become a way of changing it. In addition, we have to pay attention to the principles and rights of the awareness of diversity.
