Think back to your school days. I have two questions for you. Firstly, how was creativity promoted in your school? Was it valued and promoted on a par with academic subjects, or was it viewed as a ‘nice to have’ entity, a kind of release from some of the ‘more serious work’?
My second question is: when you were studying a range of subjects at school (for GCSE, for example), what effort did the teachers make to explain why you were learning the content presented to you and how it might be useful to you in life and work thereafter?
