"Changing Education Paradigms" by Sir Ken Robinson

Sadly.. I can relate and testify to that part of the talk saying:

"It used to be:
Hard Work
       ↓
   Do Well
       ↓
   College
       ↓
     Job
... but it's not a guarantee anymore".

Sir Ken Robinson gave this talk at Royal Society of Arts (RSA), then it was animated the way seen in the video. Sir Ken Robinson is a world-renowned education and creativity expert. He is the recipient of the RSA Benjamin Frankin award. He also did TED talks that I really enjoy and think will share as well. This is his wikipedia page for more information.
