Why is Creativity Important in Education?

"Creativity is not an option, it's an absolute necessity." 

-- Sir Ken Robinson

According to a recent Adobe creativity study, 88% of U.S. professionals believe that creativity should be built into standard curricula. Companies are looking for more than graduates who can do specific tasks, they want employees who can also think differently and innovate. To be successful, students need an education that emphasizes creative thinking, communication and teamwork.
