In general terms Mr Ken Robinson talks about the relation between creativity and education.He proposes that education is an important issue and of interest to majority of people.But he says so bluntly that schools kill creativity. In fact, the educational system is declining the tremendous creativity that all children are born. He says why? If creativity is such important as literacy in education.
For him, the creativity needs disposition to make mistakes. Is imposible to be original if you have fear of mistakes.And the educational system does not allow for mistakes. The result of that is that is educating people to not be creative.
