Educating gifted and talented students is of paramount importance not only for individuals but also for enhancing a nation's socioeconomic development, science and technology. However, while there appears to be increasing evidence at the international scholarly space on the importance of promoting gifted education, the situation is different in Tanzania where there is yet no systematic provision for it. This article reviews literature to establish the need for the systematic provision of gifted education in Tanzania and suggests ways on how its development can be initiated in the country. The article identifies areas considered essential in improving gifted education while promoting equity and excellence in nurturing the gifted in Tanzania. These areas are discussed within the context of the proposed model for developing a system of gifted education in the country. In this development, the article argues for the integration of prosocial education with gifted education for the desired future of Tanzania's gifted education.
