- Sir Ken Robinson provides the closing statement for the LWF 12 conference under the theme "leading a learning revolution".
Reforms are required for our industrial scale education systems but what forms shall they take, what will they value and what purpose shall they serve?
In closing the LWF 12 conference Sir Ken Robinson reflects on what has been heard and discussed with previous speakers and offers a call to action for the delegates to look at the future with a new determination based upon the challenges that future generations face and where our education systems will need to nurture the creative innovators upon which our future well-being will be placed.
Presented at the Learning Without Frontiers Conference, London, 26th January 2012.

At the age of 4 I knew about single celled organisms like Amoeba's and began drawing continuously. By 6 I developed a passion for Dinosaurs. At this age I was drawing 3D dinosaurs with perspectives where most my age were still drawing blob faces. By the age of 9 I had memorized over 400 separate species of Dinosaur's and everything about them. I also knew about continental shifts. Scored perfect 6's on SAT's. Now I serve coffee for a living thanks to crap education. I wanted to be Archaeologist.
I am 15 years old and I live in southern California.
I am, in my honest opinion, one of the smartest people that I know.
I am failing my second year in public high school.
Sir Ken Robinson, I'm 15 years old and you've been my idol since I was a little girl who had always hated the education system and even wanted to drop out :))
Thank you for your speeches, they are so wonderful and inspiring! Watching your video, I hope that one day my generations will enjoy a better education.
If you can understand this man's ideas and get what he is saying ... you've probably outgrown school and are now ready for the serious learning that usually takes place elsewhere.
Having worked in education myself at a few different levels (school, special school, further ed and university), I have seen enough to give me the screaming shits about what is happening to education all over.
Your comment was a speck of light in a dark desert. You love clearly learning. You're an awesome student.
Oh, yeah ... Mr. Robinson ... Math is not a subject ... Math is a discipline ... Problem solved!!!
I know exactly how you feel. I'm a teacher and I'm constantly trying to change our school and how we teach our students. The problem is that management are old school and are resistant to change. I'm really disheartened as I am told every day that I'm not teaching the 'right' way. Problem being, I don't see standing up the front of the class and teling students what to do/ what to learn as the right way. In addition... teachers like me will never be management as we are non conformists.
The more you know, the more you know that you know nothing
I want Sir Ken and his henchmen to transform me into a creative and supercalculating cyborg. Then I will conquer the world with ruthless and mercyless brutality. If I see a human I´ll remind him that he belongs to the past and then make Russian salad out of him.
Absolutely, absolutely. "descriptive, not judgemental". Too often do I see judgements being passed instead of describing what the judgement was made on or how it came into being. There exists overnumber of opinions rather than neutral observations. And we know neutral stance toward someone should be the common behaviour towards others.
Why are there only 237 views of this video? Perhaps I'm an early adopter, I'm hopeful for tens of thousands ... as always, brilliant thinking.
OH SIR ROBINSON I REALLY ENJOY LISTENING TO ALL OF YOUR SPEECH CLOSELY...NEEDLESS TO SAY HOW MUCH I HAVE IMPROVED MY INTELLECTUAL THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN THIS AWESOME POSSIBILITY...FROM BRAZIL
Important quote: "Be the change you wish to see." - believed to have been said by Gandhi.
And i really hope you have heard of Noam Chomsky ( as mentioned in this video. ) Blessed to have intellectuals like Robinson and Chomsky, all their knowledge and views at a young age. Their words can have astonishing effects.
21 minute we can customize education to the individual. I especially like this quote "If you are the teacher, you are the education system for those kids." 22 minute Revolution comes from the bottom
If you wait for the government, you are not part of the solution. At minute 19: "Many teachers think that they can do very little to bring about changes in education." Ken Robinson says, "You can change the world of education for those students immediately if you choose to."
same goes for me... only im a 15 year old guy... and admired you since I was a little BOY
Good for you...I'm 67 years old and I only discovered Sir Ken about 5 years ago. If you haven't watched Noam Chomsky - The Purpose of Education, I think you would enjoy it.
I'm a retired school teacher and finally hung up my guns..too much BS for me.
(cont.) As educators/educators to be, we are now starting to be taught to be guided by the children and their families and to co-operate with them rather than to control them.
Thank you for your talks and I agree with them 100%. Listening to them makes me proud to be an educator of the next generation, so thank you.
Im 22 year of age and Im currently studying a Diploma in Childrens Services. In this industry, we use the EYLF (early years learning framework) as a guide and its also refered to as "the bible of the industry" and put simply, it explains everything you've talked about in your speeches.
I agree - so few people have taken interest in the future of our children - thank you for highlighting so many life changing points...
tx for bringing this to light..education is such a commercialized place to produce more robots, they probably know something is not right, but they are so lazy and comfortable to take the leap
@bavwill I think you're right, that could be one of the biggest challenges. Adults are living in a world which was told to them, leaving them apathetic about posibility and diversity, measuring success in terms of how much money you can make ..... it's a definite corroboration of the need to have this revolution. I also think we need a big political revolution, same principles aply, the goal must be social balance - not financial growth.
