As much as 80% of IQ is inherited. Can't "close" any gap through different teaching. At most, 5 points can be gained through training. Gaps are narrowed through better standard living which contributes to better diet etc.

The gap cannot be closed with normal teaching
but with special methods developed for autistics ( ABA ) and blacks (DI)
in the US, 15IQ point improvement is easily achieved
Still the first step is getting enough nutrition
