Changing Education Paradigms

In this talk from RSA Animate, Sir Ken Robinson lays out the link between three troubling trends: rising drop-out rates, schools' dwindling stake in the arts, and ADHD. An important, timely talk for parents and teachers.

Sir Ken Robinson is an international expert on creativity and innovation. He believes that you cannot have innovation without imagination, and that "creativity and innovation are systematically suppressed on an institutional scale...", and that we need to rethink/reevaluate the system of learning to foster creative intelligence or "divergent" thinking.
