Changing Education Paradigm - Ken Robinson

This presentation by RSA on the views of Sir Ken Robinson highlights some of the key issues with our education system. Some of the highlights of the presentation are :-

1.)  How the current system has led to CHAOS" ?

2.) Analysis of Education and it's relationship with Industrialization and age of enlightenment.

3.) The depiction of pitiable state of modern students.

4.) Thoughts on Divergent thinking and Creativity.



The presentation talks beautifully about the problems of current system but barely touches on the solutions.  How can we make the paradigm shift ?

The presentation also doesn't consider the recent developments in education where a lot of these issues have been addressed already. It also neglects a lot of other challenges.

Nevertheless, this really make a very impactful and useful presentation.  Let us keep this discussion on and take things beyond ideas and concepts.
