Abstract

Results of the research. The historical and pedagogical prerequisites for the development of academic giftedness in the People’s Republic of China can be conditionally divided into the following stages:
1. Ancient China (before 1911): the emergence of a system of examinations for civil service, which stimulated the development of education and the identification of gifted people; the development of Confucian philosophy, which emphasized the importance of education and self-improvement; creation of the first schools and academies for gifted children.

2. The Republican period (1911-1949): reforming the educational system, starting new types of schools and universities; introduction of new methods of education and training aimed at the development of creative thinking and independence; creation of the first programs for gifted children.
3. Modern period (since 1949): expansion of the network of schools for gifted children; development and implementation of new programs and methods of development of academic talent; creation of centers and institutes to support gifted children.
