Ken Robinson festival of ideas continues

I note the excellent talks by Sir Ken Robinson seem to be happening outside TED these days. Others are building great collections of intelligent thoughts. Ken has a gift for bringing across important issues that we need to consider in simple, effective ways that are easy to remember.



And I think this talk is also brilliant.



So here's my question. Is there any way we can measure whether any society is infact getting smarter or more creative because of what they have done to education?
