Abstract

Excellence in education has become a mantra that has yielded several hits on the Internet. There is, for instance, a Global Talent Index, which measures talent and ranks countries according to a number of excellence criteria (Global Talent Index 2015). The global competition between nation-states and their education systems and the ensuing focus on excellence in education are widely manifested at the national level in initiatives such as the establishment of talent centres, the allocation of resources and funds for talent development, and the organization of activities to identify and differentiate talent in school contexts. Thus, excellence and talent have entered the education political agenda at global, regional, and local levels.
