Do schools kill Creativity?

Creativity is the process of bringing fresh and inventive ideas to life. A school is an educational

institution created to offer learning spaces and learning settings for the instruction of students

under the leadership of instructors. The capacity to view things differently, spot patterns, link

seemingly unconnected events, and come up with answers are all characteristics of creativity.

Sir ken Robinson asserts in his all-time most popular TED talk that schools stifle creativity

because "we do not develop into creativity, we grow out of it.” To put it another way, we are

educated out of it. Robison claims that we should treat creativity with the same importance as we

do literacy. Robison views creativity as involving imagination, self-expression, and

unconventional thinking.

It is true, as we can see by looking about us. Certainly, education stifles creativity. Because most

school children are evaluated by their grades rather than their creativity, the education system

that underpins the global school system generates people who are crammers rather than creative

thinkers. As we can see, arts are the least popular in most educational institutions, whereas

mathematics is the most popular everywhere on the earth. They must receive good grades in all

the subjects they are required to study in all educational systems, whether they enjoy them or not,

whether they attend a public or private school, whether they are taking Oxford courses or reading

other books. They must do this in order to remain in our so-called educational system. Because

maintaining good grades is the only thing that matters for their survival in school and later in

society. Kids are being discouraged from expressing their illegitimate, unrefined thoughts in

class. A youngster will struggle academically, will find it difficult to obtain work, and will look

to the rest of the world to be a failure if they have trouble in a few specific disciplines However,

it's possible that the child excelled in other areas but was prevented from those abilities by our
educational system. We compel them to accept the idea that making mistakes occurs when one

thinks in novel ways because there is a probability of doing so, and that one cannot be creative

without making mistakes. Our educational institutions can only create limited individuals who

are only capable of thinking what they have been taught. Due to this, there are only excellent

academics, educators, engineers, physicians, etc. in society today. As a result of our society's

inability to support thought, we lack thinkers. Instead of treating every kid the same, schools

should put more emphasis on each person. Without placing the appropriate value on creativity,

we cannot have a better future. Putting multiple ideas together to create something new and

improved is what creative knowledge is all about. Creativity is just as crucial as literacy. Being

on the edge of a field yet remaining inside it is essential to creativity.
