Changing the Education Paradigm

Sir Ken Robinson is one of my heroes. He has a remarkable ability to distill complex issues into simple, understandable words and phrases that make enormous sense in a world gone mad.

In this RSA Animate lecture, he talks of the need to shift our focus towards divergent thinking and the need to revitalise the aesthetic in education, replacing the increasingly ritalin-induced anaesthesia of our current system, delivered by an ethic and culture that's remained unchallenged and unchanged for too long.

Add the insights of biomimicry and the art of improv to Sir Ken's ideas, with a focus on delivering 'R10' quality solutions that are fit for a more intelligent future, and we might just there.

Enjoy it here.
