Gifted Education or Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) or Talented and Gifted (TAG) are school programs designed for students who show high achievement capability in areas such as intellectual, creative, artistic, or leadership capacity, or in specific academic fields, and who need services and activities not ordinarily provided by the school to fully develop those capabilities.

These programs, policies, and the funding for them vary from state to state and among schools and school districts. The only federal program for gifted children is the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act, which focuses on identifying and serving students who are traditionally under-represented in gifted and talented programs—such as minority students, students from low-income backgrounds or who are English language learners, and children with disabilities.

The Javits program is designed to help reduce gaps in achievement and to encourage the establishment of equal educational opportunities for all U.S. students. The program funds applied research and the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented. In fiscal year 2017 the Javits program received $12 million in federal funds.

In Nevada, Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) programs are designed to cater to the needs of students who demonstrate exceptional abilities in various domains. These programs aim to provide educational opportunities that go beyond the standard curriculum to nurture and develop the unique talents of these students. The state of Nevada has its own policies and regulations regarding the identification of gifted students and the provision of services to them. The Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) and Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) outline the requirements for gifted and talented education, including criteria for student eligibility, program standards, and the responsibilities of school districts in providing appropriate educational services. Funding for GATE programs in Nevada comes from a combination of state and local resources, and the state may also apply for federal funds through the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Act, which supports the identification and education of gifted students from under-represented groups. The Javits Act emphasizes research and the development of practices to assist educators in serving these students effectively, with the goal of promoting educational equity. For specific information on GATE programs in Nevada, individuals can refer to resources provided by the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) or contact state education agencies directly.
