[Design and Technology] Does our education system cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence?

[Elizabeth Keep]

I've emailed and left a phone message with her. I didn’t realise that she is the same person as the presenter for the exam preparation that I did on Tuesday.
Her name is Faye Mariarty. I've asked about a replacement insight exam too.

Hi guys,



I watched this video "Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity" on Ted Talks and thought you may enjoy?



Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we're educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence.
