Growing up and going to school in Malaysia could be summed up in these few words:
Read.
Memorise.
Regurgitate.
And anyone who have ever been to school here would no doubt be able to relate pretty well to those three words.
Face it, the school system in Malaysia doesn't do much to bolster kids' curiousity and creativity.
To quote Robinson: "...by the time they get to be adults, most children have lost that capacity. They have become frightened of being wrong and we run our companies like that by the way. We stigmatise mistakes. And we are now running national education systems where mistakes are the worst things you can make."
Is our creativity up to snuff?
