Purposive Drift

What is the education system for?

I first saw Ken Robinson at a conference I went to in Berlin a few years ago and was very impressed with him then. I particularly warmed to his thesis that if you analyse it carefully you can see that success in the educational system is defined in terms of producing a university professor.

You can now get a taste of his wit and wisdom from his speech at this years TED here.

I laughed throughout.
