  17. Conclusion • In 2008, Hong Kong is an exciting place to be in terms of gifted education. • The role of research will become increasingly important. • Research will be expected to help evaluate the effectiveness of policy and of its implementation … and play an increasing role in the formation of policy. • Current research has established a large number of reliable and validated instruments. However, studies have not adequately characterized gifted students in Hong Kong. • Research must be designed to be more representative of the Hong Kong context, and focus on the ways to promote talent development in the inclusive classroom.
