We are living in a world where everyone thinks without education you cannot succeed in life. Let it be noted that I am not in any way against education in fact Education is ONE OF the best legacy. But creativity should be equally celebrated too.

Gone are the days when once you have a degree you are sure of getting a job, but now we all know what our university graduates are facing out there. Someone with great idea will be belittled because maybe he/she is only a degree holder or probably Masters. Is formal education really a prerequisite to knowing what someone has to offer?

We all know the story of people like Albert Einstein(dropped out at age 15), Thomas Edison(after only three months of formal education), Benjamin Franklin, Bill Gates, Walt Disney who had to leave school to face reality. Let it be noted once again that I am not in anyway discouraging education or trying to celebrate those that dropped out of school, but I am saying Creativity should be equally celebrated as education.

A child whose interest is dancing shouldn't be forced or lured into a Biology class!
Singing is as important as Mathematics!

We are living in a world where someone applying for the post of a salesman/woman (in a roadside shop) is being asked to present his/her certificate even to write a CV (trust me I have heard stories like that before)

If you are a TED user, you will know this is a very important topic, which need urgent attention.
(attached is a TED video on this same topic)

So the question is, Education or Creativity; which should be encouraged?

creativity and education works hand in hand......... you might be creative, have ideas and not have the logic to implement your creative ideas, so you have to learn (education) to be able to let your creativity reach it prime
