Creativity is the key to education for the future. Most of the jobs that students will be applying for in ten years will be in fields that could not now even be dreamed of.
There is more to it though, when you start to look. It comes down to a question of educating the heart. Margaret Atwood put it well in her 2004 Kesterton Lecture: The “Arts, as we’ve come to term them, are not a frill. They are the heart of the matter, because they are about our hearts, and our technological inventiveness is generated by our emotions, not by our minds. A society without the arts would have broken its mirror and cut out its heart. It would no longer be what we now recognize as human.”
