According to Sir Ken Robinson, Ph.D, schools worldwide are failing to cultivate a child’s natural insightfulness and talent. The reason for such a linear approach to education, is do the fact that current educational paradigms are industrial, and we are now living in an information age, with an uncertain future.
Sir Robinson notes that the waste of talent by our educational institutions isn't deliberate, rather it is systematic. As we merge towards globalization in the market place, this is indeed a dreadful and insightful prospective. Hampering a child’s natural borne innovation creates an environment of standardization, as demonstrated by the current model. As a result, Sir Robinson notes that a “revolution” in the culture of education is needed. A strategy likely to benefit all parties according to Sir Robinson is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community.
