The Gifted Education Programme (GEP) is an academic programme in Singapore, initially designed to identify the top 0.25% of students from each academic year with outstanding intelligence. The tests are based on verbal, mathematical and spatial abilities. Selected students will then be transferred to schools offering the GEP. GEP classes are designed to fit the students' learning ability, and may cover subjects in greater breadth and depth. The curriculum is designed by the Gifted Education Branch and eschews the use of textbooks for notes that have been prepared by GEP teachers.
