Sir Ken Robinson is a British author and creativity expert who challenges the way we're educating our children. The video clip above has Sir Ken Robinson's talk at the 2006 TED conference as he calls for a radical rethinking of our school systems. Here are a few quotes from the video above:
- "And my contention is, all kids have tremendous talents. And we squander them pretty ruthlessly. My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status."
- "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original."
In the video clip below Sir Ken Robinson examines the current factory model of the education system and the urgent need to re-examine how we teach students.
Ken Robinson is the author of the book, Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative. You can learn more about Ken Robinson here.
