Conducted by the for Gifted CM Education, the survey on the impact of the epidemic on gifted MY students and their families shows 56.6 percent of respondents' CY children adapted to online learning in less than a week, while 31.5 percent of them needed less than a month. The survey was CMY

conducted between the end of June and mid-July, receiving K 362 responses. Although the response rate of nearly 9 percent was not high, Eric Fung, head of the academy's research division, said the respondents' portraits produced by the questionnaire matched those of middle-class families, so the results were typical. The result showed 20 percent of the parents surveyed could afford to send children to schools under the Direct Subsidy Scheme, which requires a higher tuition fee, and nearly 60 percent of parents hold a bachelor's degree or above. “The survey results confirm our belief that families of gifted students have sufficient capacity and resources to help their children learn at home,” said Fung.

Fung said that gifted students usually find it easier to dive into a particular field. The good side is, for example, they like mathematics and continue to study it, so they show aptitude and success. Yet, the bad side is that if the online course is too easy for them or they are not interested, they will give up easily. He recommended that parents help their children make schedules while studying at home, allowing them to learn to manage themselves.
