Overwhelmed by the juster of two of my friends ( the followers), I feel more committed to the mission I have started for education. I feel needless to write about how our education has rotted and has turned into a commodity only affordable to the rich.I would rather like to mention the efforts that are on to make our education more creative and more solid.
In this decade, whenever one wish to talk about reforms in education, the name of Sir Ken Robinson has to be the most certain at the top. All his efforts are to move us from an academic format for the defunct industrial revolution to an interdisciplinary organizational structure fit for today's globally-networked knowledge workers, Sir Ken recommends a logical new kind of school system and tells us why this social institutional structure is imperative to fix "the other climate crisis" -- the human resource crisis.
His works like Learning Through Drama. Report Of The Schools Council Drama Teaching, (1977) The Arts in Schools: Principles, Practice and Provision (1982) which is now a key text on arts and education internationally has an profound impact on education in Europe.May sound ridiculous to some readers but as per him- The schools are killing creativity. Infect the, name of this blog has been inspired from his reports on unlocking creativity.
To know more about him here are few links :
