The authors also address some of the challenges faced in implementing these approaches and suggest future directions to overcome some of the barriers. Case studies are presented for the innovative Dual Programme offered at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and the Mentorship Scheme provided by the Hong Kong Academy for Gifted Education (HKAGE). The concluding sections recommend future directions for the advancement of acceleration practices in Asian settings.
