Recorded in 2006 at a TED conference in California, this witty and refreshing look at our approach to  education  still provokes animated discussion and debate. Challenging and lighthearted, it prompts us to rethink how we are educating our children.

'Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving
case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines)
creativity. Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we're educating
our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate
creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence.'  TED
