When we look at our education system, I believe the most creative things are kept hidden and we are always said not to make mistakes. Trust me, its not Nepal but all over the world high ranked subjects are accordingly: Mathematics, Language, Science after it Social and in the end, Arts!
How many of you got an chance where your parents said, go dance one day you have to become a dancer? Or play football daily or be a artist? UNESCO did a research and found out by 2030 we will have so many people getting degree that will equal total number of degree holders in history. What it means is that it will be common thing to have piece of paper that tells you what you have studied.
I m not saying it’s not important to get a degree, what I m saying is why certain courses have been chosen by everyone to study now? And will it be important in next 10 years, will it mean anything as the world is changing so rapidly, and number of people graduating in that course are increasing so rapidly.
I believe as Picasso said ‘All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up ‘, we all are creative when we are children, we are not afraid to think original, we are not afraid to take chances but as we start getting educated we find out its a mistake to make a mistake. We start doing what has been proven, we stop taking chances, sometimes all we want to do is study to become someone else. when we could have been us.
All I am asking is to have education system that teaches how to be creative, how to remain creative or at least stop telling what is important for children and letting them find out what they want and what they can. Because we can not predict future, but our future can only be secured if we are creative and only if children’s are creative.
