As the goal of education, the educational ideal expresses the requirements and the aspirations of a society in a particular historical moment, in the shape of a desirable pattern of human personality; the educational ideal is a credo. The rational man, the personality in progress, does not act before understanding and trusting something. Goal-oriented belief feeds the spirit, organizes the forces, leads on before the unknown, surmounts obstacles and lends strength. One of the challenges already launched within contemporary society is the need for re-thinking school, formal education, alongside of non-formal and informal education, in their various way of articulation. Efficient learning manifests itself in cognitive productivity and creativity only if they are based on the potential qualities of pupils. High potential children, due to the configuration of their personality (asynchronous development) fall into a category that must be protected by specific educational measures, fact reflected in the European legislation in the field: they need increased attention from the pedagogical community for their integration within a coherent educational system. The absence of a framework adequate to their outstanding endowment may lead, on one hand, to the loss of their high creative potential and, on the other; there is the risk of onset of alienation, failure and school abandonment, as well as that of developing antisocial behaviour . Therefore, gifted children must have adequate learning conditions to allow them to fully turn to account their potential, to their own interests and to that of their society. Wasting talents means wasting human resources by not identifying their intellectual potential in due time.
