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?

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
