A Learning Revolution

We might think we have only one climate crisis, but Sir Ken Robinson disagrees.

In this thought-provoking TED Talk, he describes a second crisis – not of natural resources, but human resources.  Human talent is often buried deep – and we need to create the circumstances where they reveal themselves.  And this does not often happen through education.  Education is currently being reformed worldwide, but according to Sir Ken, this is not enough.  We don’t need evolution in education – we need a REVOLUTION.

Check out this talk to find out :

  • Why the school system can be compared to fast food.
  • How school often dislocates people from their natural talents
  • Why not everybody needs to go to college
