Ken Robinson
Education doesn't need to be reformed- it needs to be transformed.
Ken Robinson
Being creative is at the heart of being human and of all cultural progress.
Ken Robinson
I like university professors, but you know, we shouldn't hold them up as the high-water mark of all human achievement. They're just a form of life, another form of life.
