I just saw a video on Education where one of the panelist was Marina Mahathir. Here. Talk about missing the forest for the trees. In my article here, I talk about big picture thinking and operational thinking in point 2. Maybe I'll expand a little here.
Before we talk about what to fix in our educational system, it is much better to think on what creative thinking is and isnt. What are the conditions that promote and the conditions that hinder? What is innovation really? This is big picture thinking.
If you havent a clue, then how are you going to fix things? Fix what? Fixing is operational thinking. So big picture first, then operational. Otherwise you just end up making a bigger mess.
We have the same problem is chess. First question is what are the characteristics of a grandmaster? Then we tailor our training programs to achieve this abeit not everyone will qualify. We need congruity, not ad hoc, knee jerk, skin deep solutions.
Another clue to what I am saying is found here and here
