The difference between the weighted and the unweighted average score (GPA) and the algorithm for selecting gifted students in the university based on the rating, the weighted GPA and the overall academic performance are explained. The fundamental works of world scientists on the identifcation and development of giftedness in schools around the world are presented. A review of the educational contexts of such countries as Australia, Austria, Finland, France, Greece, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Turkey and the United States is conducted. Certain characteristics of highly gifted students are outlined. Various approaches of researchers to the identifcation of creative and communicative giftedness in world practice are presented, including an approach to the formation of the level of giftedness of students from the point of view of a new dimension of creative pedagogical knowledge.
