Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity. In doing so, I feel he raises some important questions on how and why we are in the business of education. I thought this is especially relevant for us in Singapore where the Ministry of Education has tried ways to include creative thinking in our local syllabus. While the intention was brilliant and indeed timely, its execution was not always beneficial. Sir Ken Robinson provides some interesting ideas in this video.
