Investment in talents is the gateway to progress and growth that is the focus of the leaders and educators in all countries of the world. The gifted and talented in any country are a national wealth that must be invested and exploited appropriately. The development of societies depends on the achievements of their talented, skillful and creative members. When they are not properly cared for, society is deprived of their achievements and the gifted are deprived of their rights to self-fulfillment. Despite this interest in talented and outstanding, they are still considered to be less favored segment in providing educational services and appropriate care programs. This study is based on the survey methodology and descriptive approach to identify the most important needs of talented students. It identifies the most important trends in their care and meeting their needs in the light of international experiences. The study found a number of results, including that the gifted students are characterized by their emotional, physical, academic and social needs, and that meeting these needs requires a number of procedures and adaptations in many aspects of the educational system including institutional structure, curricula, activities and teacher preparation. The study also recommended the expansion of the preparation of special programs aimed at discovering talented people, developing their abilities and investing their creations.
