Perhaps the most crucial question in education right now is what skills we need to teach our children in order to prepare them for the (uncertain) future. Education now still focuses on hard knowledge like math and languages, but with the rise in worldwide population -and the rise of the middle class in emerging markets- this is hardly a differentiator anymore.
In his brilliant speech Ken Robinson explains how this comes and, more importantly, why we need to focus on creativity in our educational system again. Something to watch out for when choosing the school for my kids...
And no doubt the best TED speech ever given...
