Popis: The present study aims to evaluate the quality of the national talent support system for people with High Ability (HA) in the educational context of Argentina. The objective is to offer a comprehensive review of education talent support, using the Actiotopic model to understand how the resources available in the educational environment affect the development of talent in HA people. A systemic approach was employed to recognize the complexity and interaction of endogenous and exogenous resources in talent development. An exploratory study was carried out using an online questionnaire aimed at 23 education and health professionals, both from the private and public sectors, who regularly work with HA people. The sample selection was accidental, and all participants were women between 25 and 50 years old. The research results show an important influence of socioeconomic and political factors where the poor identification and persistence of stereotypes show the urgent need to improve teacher training, implement concrete measures and demystify misconceptions about HA. In addition, the need to have official statistical data at the country to guide future educational interventions and public policies focused on valuing the HA as an engine of national progress.
