This discussion focuses on the role and place of creativity in education. Is creativity in education as important as literacy, and should it be treated with the same status? Are we educating with too much emphasis on "the one right answer" - predicted on academic ability? In order for companies and countries to stay competitive do we need to take a hard look at how we're teaching children - and adults - to think?
