In this speech, Shakur emphasizes the importance of creativity in education. He begins by posing a powerful question: what if the solution to our global problems lies in the untapped potential of a creative student? Creativity, he explains, isn’t just for the arts—it’s a vital skill for the future. In a rapidly changing world, simply memorizing facts isn’t enough; students need to learn how to think creatively.Shakur shares his interest in robotics as an example, showing how creativity is essential even in technical fields. He argues that traditional education often limits creativity by focusing on repetition and right answers. Instead, we should foster environments that encourage experimentation, risk-taking, and innovation across all subjects. To bring creativity into classrooms, he suggests methods like project-based learning, teamwork, and role-playing. Despite resistance to change, Shakur believes we can reshape education to empower students as confident, imaginative changemakers prepared for the future.
