Begaafdheidsprofielscholen

Dutch to English Other Education / Pedagogy
My translation: schools with a profile for talented and gifted pupils. Suggestions?

Begaafdheidsprofielscholen: scholen waar extra opvang voor hoogbegaafde leerlingen structureel geregeld wordt en als zodanig herkenbaar worden. De inrichting van dit type scholen is nog in een groeifase. De benaming is naar analogie van de zogenaamde cultuurprofielscholen en LOOT-scholen (Landelijk Overleg Onderwijs en Topsport).

Thanks for your response.

profiel From your responses you already made me aware that profiel needs no translation. Maybe 'schools for the gifted and talented'is enough and the combination with 'programme'unnecessary.

Proposed translations

Selected

schools [with a programme for] the gifted and talented

In the UK gifted and talented (GT) is the more usual word order.

correction: the closing bracket should be after 'programme'

agree Jack den Haan : Note for Rene: I think 'profiel' relates to begaafdheid, not the school. Try a google on 'begaafdheidsprofiel' ...

agree Inge Dijkstra : Note for Anglocast: I think the closing square bracket should be placed behind the word 'programme'
