Mifano yako ya vipaji ni halali, and I agree with you 100% but kibongobongo hamna exposure ya vitu kama hivyo au kama vipo havina thamani kama tunavyothamini Elimu ndo maana academic excellency is gifted and in this case zinaitwa "special".
I'm sure you happen to know people who are talented in different fields like soccer, music, maths, computing etc but what will that take them to in Tanzania? NOWHERE. Based on criteria tulizojiwekea usage of "Special" au "Vipaji Maalum" may be misleading/wrong but I fully support the use of "Academically or Intellectually gifted" just like how it's used in every top school globally. Almost every country has a gifted education program. A quick google search on "academically gifted schools" will prove kuwa hata katika nchi zilizoendelea matumizi yake ni sawa na sisi(ambiguous), "gifted" goes in hand na "talented" in many cases. Ben carson achieved something big to be titled "gifted" hands, so is kina Torvalds, George Hortz, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Mark Zurkeberg they are all called "gifted" software engineers sababu they have done better than pretty much everyone in the things they do, so if someone does better than everyone in academics it's very legal to call them "academically gifted". The magnitude of "gifted" is comparative, and so is "talented"/"special". Jose Mourinho can attest to the use of "special" better than me.
