About This Quote
The quote by Sir Ken Robinson asserts that curiosity, especially in children, must be protected. Sir Ken claims that the taboo against curiosity has led to the current education system that emphasizes only the dry parts of learning. Sir Ken says that learning should be seen as a “discovery process” where children are allowed to explore and make mistakes. Sir Ken is advocating breaking down the barriers between school life and life outside of school. Sir Ken also advocates the use of technology to make learning more fun.
