children are born creative Sarah for
example loves to dance she doesn't care
about making any wrong moves at her
first day at school she can't wait to
show her dancing skills to her new
friends they are so excited they even
started copying her moves but when the
teacher comes in he tells them to stop
school is not a place to dance it's a
place to get knowledge so the first
thing Sarah learns school is not about
her interests when Sarah graduates she
has the best degree in her class great
but she doesn't dance anymore because
she is afraid that somebody might judge
her the reason the first global
education system was invented during
industrialization when medicine and
mechanical machines were making huge
steps forward so the most important
subjects to support these developments
were at the top of the hierarchy they
are needed today as well but we don't
know what the world will look like in
the future with the advances in
automation we will need to develop new
business ideas and lifestyles but how
will our children invent these in the
future when they aren't educated to
solve challenges in a creative way of
course our education system can change
on the one hand it could put subjects
like sports and arts on the same level
like math languages or humanities at the
same time it could give students more
freedom to choose which topics they want
to learn in which they don't on the
other hand interdisciplinary tasks could
teach teamwork to students with
different strengths the result success
and what about computers
no not like this in times of
digitalization school should give
students modern digital workspaces last
but not least schools should start
encouraging creative expression from
students like Sarah because the more
creative and fearless she is the better
her chances are of becoming whatever she
wants to be even
