Do Schools Kill Creativity? (TED talk)

In her TED Talk, Sir Ken Robinson argues that traditional education systems often prioritize standardized testing and academic skills at the expense of creativity and artistic talents. He suggests that this emphasis can suppress students’ natural abilities to think creatively and pursue their passions. Robinson highlights the importance of nurturing diverse talents and fostering an environment where creativity is valued alongside literacy and numeracy. Ultimately, he advocates for transforming education to encourage innovation, imagination, and individual uniqueness, helping students develop their full potential rather than fitting into a narrow, standardized mold.
