Sir Ken Robinson's RSA animation

RSA Animate – in which a skilled illustrator draws images as a presenter presents a topic – has Sir Ken Robinson explain our dominant educational paradigm and why it must change in this 11-minute video.
Every country on earth at the moment is reforming public education. The problem is, they’re trying to meet the future by doing what they did in the past. And on the way they are alienating millions of kids, who don’t see any purpose in going to school.
Sir Ken is a British university professor and an advocate for the arts, known widely for his books on creativity and human flourishing. He’s a deeply human thinker and this is one of the finest videos in the series, well worth watching!
