According to theologians and some scholars, each person has his own destiny in this life. An expert in nurturing and unleashing creativity, Ken Robinson has devoted his entire adult life to uncovering this topic.
Childhood
Caring parents at all times strived to properly prepare their child for an independent life. To this end, at an early age, they try to discern certain abilities and inclinations in him. Ken Robinson, a famous intellectual and public figure, has been involved in the development of creative thinking for many years. In his articles, reports and books, a certain concept of the upbringing of the younger generation is expressed, and a special view of the current education system.
International consultant in the field of human capital development was born on March 4, 1950 in a large family. Parents lived in the city of Liverpool. My father worked at a shipyard. The mother was engaged in housekeeping and raising children. Ken was the seventh child in the house. Not to say that the Robinson family lived in poverty, but every pound sterling was registered. The situation became more complicated when my father was seriously injured at work and became disabled.
The path to the profession
When Ken was four years old, the boy contracted polio. During that chronological period, the British government kept the country under austerity with minimal funding for pediatric medicine. All expenses for the treatment and rehabilitation of the patient fell on the meager family budget. The boy began his studies at the Liverpool Academic School a year later than his peers. Ken did his best not to be among the outsiders. He was purposefully interested in new methods of presenting and assimilating knowledge.
After completing his secondary education at a private gymnasium, Robinson entered the English language and drama department at the University of Leeds. With a bachelor's degree, he taught at the school of art projects for several years, and served as director for four years. Then, in 1989, Robinson was invited to the Department of Arts Education at the University of Warwick, located in Coventry. Here he worked for twelve years and wrote his main books. In 2003, the Queen of Great Britain elevated Ken Robinson to the rank of a knight for his contribution to the development of education.
Recognition and privacy
Sir Robinson's academic and teaching career was successful. From under his pen came books entitled "Recognition: How to Find Your Purpose", "Find Your Element", "Creative Schools" and a number of others. The author was invited to participate in various international projects on education and training.
Ken Robinson's personal life was happy. He has been married for a long time. The husband and wife live in California. His wife is a novelist by profession. They have no children.
