Do schools Kill Creativity?-Nishant Joshi (PGP30026)

Children are inherently creative!

They are also the key to our future

We can’t predict the next 5 years how do we

plan to educate for the next 50 ?!

Creativity is as important as literacy!

It’s absolutelyessential to

take a chance or risk and

creativity stems from

this risk taking nature

You won’t take a

risk if you are

afraid of making a

mistake

Education systems stigmatize mistakes till we stop even trying to take a chance

We don’t just grow

out of our

creativity…we are

Educated out of

Creativity!...

but Why?

The educationalhierarchy followed

around the globe…why is this

so? Why aren’t subjects like

Dance ever taught full time?

Modern Educational System has its roots in

Industrialism

The purpose of education was to create employees and then there were very few jobs

This led to subjects like Math & Science being given more importance and hence the current

hierarchy

But this is no longer the case!

According to UNESCO, morestudents will graduate in the next 30 years than since the

beginning of education

This is leading to AcademicInflation where just having a degree is no longer sufficient

guarantee of employment

We need to

rethink the

definition of

what is

intelligence?

Intelligence is Diverse, Dynamic

and Distinct|

Creativity can

only come from

interaction of

various forms of

intelligence

For any kind of sustained survival, a critical

reexamination of our educational system is absolutely

critical
