His 2006 talk ‘Do Schools Kill Creativity?’ has been viewed online over 60 million times, and has been seen by an estimated 380 million people in 160 countries. Sir Ken Robinson, regarded as one of the world’s leading thinkers on reforming the educational system, sadly passed away last Friday. We pay tribute to his legacy, and look back at his powerful takedown of the world’s current educational paradigm.
