Bring on the learning revolution! | Ken Robinson

Translator: olatz mercader Reviewer: Manex artola

I was here four years ago,

Hemen izan nintzen duela lau urte,

and I remember, at the time,

eta gogoan dut garai hartan

that the talks weren't put online.

hitzaldiak ez zirela sareratzen;

I think they were given to TEDsters in a box,

Uste dut TED- tarrei kaxa batean ematen zitzaizkiela,

a box set of DVDs,

DVD bilduma- kaxa batean,

which they put on their shelves, where they are now.

apal batean uzteko, eta han jarraitzen dute oraindik

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

And actually, Chris called me a week after I'd given my talk, and said,

Nire hitzaldia eman eta astebetera

Chris- ek deitu zidan

"We're going to start putting them online. Can we put yours online?"

Eta esan zidan " Hitzaldiak sareratzera goaz.

Zurea sarera al dezakegu?" " Noski" erantzun nion.

And I said, "Sure."

And four years later,

Eta lau urte beranduago,

it's been downloaded four million times.

nion bezela, ikusi dute lau...

Tira, jeitsi dute lau milioi aldiz

Beraz, kopuru hori hogei aldiz biderka dezakezuela suposatzen dut

So I suppose you could multiply that by 20 or something

to get the number of people who've seen it.

ikusi dutenen kopurua lortzeko.

Eta Chris-ek dionez,

And, as Chris says, there is a hunger for videos of me.

nire bideo-gosea dago.

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

(Applause)

(Txaloak)

Don't you feel?

... Ez al duzue sentitzen?

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

So, this whole event has been an elaborate build-up

Beraz, guzti hau asko landutako sarrera bat izan da

to me doing another one for you, so here it is.

zuentzako beste hitzaldi bat prestatzeko aukera izan nezan, beraz hemen dago.

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

Al Gore spoke at the TED conference I spoke at four years ago

Al Gorek hitzegin zuen

duela lau urte nik parte hartutako TED Konferentzian

and talked about the climate crisis.

eta klima-krisialdiaz hitzegin zuen.

And I referenced that at the end of my last talk.

Eta horri erreferentzia egin nion

nire azken hitzaldiaren amaieran.

So I want to pick up from there

Hortxe hartu nahi nuke berriro haria

because I only had 18 minutes, frankly.

18 minutu besterik ez bait ditut.

(Laughter)

So, as I was saying --

Beraz, esaten nuen bezela....

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

Berak arrazoi du.

You see, he's right.

I mean, there is a major climate crisis, obviously,

Hau da, begibistakoa da klima-krisialdi itzela dagoela.

and I think if people don't believe it, they should get out more.

Eta hori sinisten ez duenak gehiago irten beharko luke kalera.

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

Baina uste dut bigarren klima-krisialdi bat ere badela,

But I believe there is a second climate crisis,

which is as severe,

aurrekoa bezain larria,

which has the same origins,

sustrai berdinak dituena,

and that we have to deal with with the same urgency.

eta urgentzia berdinarekin aurre egin beharrekoa.

Eta honekin zera esan nahi dut----

And you may say, by the way,

bide batez, zuen esan dezakezue- "Tira, ongi nago.

"Look, I'm good.

Badut klima-krisialdi bat;

I have one climate crisis, I don't really need the second one."

ez dut bigarrena ezertarako behar."

(Laughter)

But this is a crisis of, not natural resources --

baina krisialdi hau ez da baliabide naturalei buruzkoa

nahiz eta hori ere benetazkoa den,

though I believe that's true --

but a crisis of human resources.

giza-baliabideei buruzkoa baizik.

I believe fundamentally,

Funtsean, konbentzituta nago,

as many speakers have said during the past few days,

azken egunotan hizlari askok esan duten bezela

gure talentuen

that we make very poor use of our talents.

erabilera oso eskasa egiten dugula.

Very many people go through their whole lives

Pertsona askok bere bizitza guztia iragaten dute

having no real sense of what their talents may be,

beraien talentuak zein izan daitezkeen ohartu gabe,

or if they have any to speak of.

batenbat ba ote duten jakin gabe.

Ezertan onak ez direla pentsatzen duten

I meet all kinds of people

who don't think they're really good at anything.

pertsona askorekin egiten dut topo.

Actually, I kind of divide the world into two groups now.

Benetan, mundua bi taldetan zatitzen dut gaur egun.

Jeremy Bentham, the great utilitarian philosopher,

Jeremy Bentham-ek, filosofo utilitario handiak,

once spiked this argument.

behin punta atera zion argudio honi.

He said, "There are two types of people in this world:

Esan zuen, " Bi pertsona mota daude mundu honetan,

those who divide the world into two types

mundua bi motatan bereizten dutenak

and those who do not."

eta bereizketa hori egiten ez dutenak."

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

Well, I do.

Tira, nik egiten dut.

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

I meet all kinds of people who don't enjoy what they do.

Egiten dutena gogoko ez duten

pertsona askorekin egiten dut topo.

They simply go through their lives getting on with it.

Soilik bere bizitza pasatzen dute

nola hala moldatzen.

They get no great pleasure from what they do.

Ez dute egiten dutenetik plazerrik lortzen.

They endure it rather than enjoy it,

Jasan egiten dute, gozatu baino gehiago,

and wait for the weekend.

eta asteburua iritsi zai egoten dira.

But I also meet people

Baina egiten duena maite

who love what they do and couldn't imagine doing anything else.

duen jendearekin ere egiten dut topo

bere burua beste ezertan imagina ez dezaketenekin.

If you said, "Don't do this anymore,"

"Ez egin hau gehiago" esango bazenieke, zertaz hizketan ari zaren galdetuko liokete bere buruari

they'd wonder what you're talking about.

Ez delako zer egiten duten, zein diren baizik. Esaten dute

It isn't what they do, it's who they are.

They say, "But this is me, you know.

" Baina hau da ni naizena, badakizu.

It would be foolish to abandon this,

Lelokeria litzateke hau bertan behera uztea,

because it speaks to my most authentic self."

nire nortasunaren alderdi autentikoena isladatzen bait du."

And it's not true of enough people.

Eta hau ez da horrela nahikoa jenderentzat..

In fact, on the contrary, I think it's still true of a minority of people.

Alderatziz, uste dut

benetan jendearen gutxiengo bat dela..

And I think there are many possible explanations for it.

Eta uste dut errealitate horrek

azalpen posible asko dituela.

And high among them is education,

Eta beraien artean nagusiki

hezkuntza dago,

because education, in a way,

hezkuntzak, nola hala,

jende asko dislokatzen bait du

dislocates very many people from their natural talents.

bere talentu naturaletatik

Eta giza-baliabideak baliabide naturalak bezalakoak dira;

And human resources are like natural resources;

askotan oso sakon lurperatuta daude

they're often buried deep.

You have to go looking for them,

Eta beraien bila joan behar zara.

they're not just lying around on the surface.

Ez daude azaleran kokaturik.

You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.

Eta azaleratu ahal izateko baldintzak sortu behar dituzu.

And you might imagine education would be the way that happens,

Eta imagina dezakezue

hezkuntza izan daitekeela hori gauzatzeko bidea.

but too often, it's not.

Baina sarriegitan, ez da horrela.

Every education system in the world is being reformed at the moment

Munduko hezkuntza-sistema guztiak

erreforma bat jasaten ari dira momentu honetan.

and it's not enough.

Eta ez da nahikoa.

Reform is no use anymore,

Erreformak dagoeneko ez du balio,

apurtuta dagoen eredu bat hobetzea baino ez delako.

because that's simply improving a broken model.

Behar duguna da---

What we need --

and the word's been used many times in the past few days --

eta hitz hau azken egunotan sarri erabilia izan da----

ez da eboluzioa

is not evolution,

baizik eta hezkuntza- erreboluzioa.

but a revolution in education.

Eraldakuntza bat jasan behar du

This has to be transformed into something else.

beste zerbait izateko.

(Applause)

(Txaloak)

One of the real challenges is to innovate fundamentally in education.

Erronka nagusienetako bat

hezkuntzan funtsezko berrikuntza

bat egitea da.

Innovation is hard,

Berrikuntza zaila da

because it means doing something that people don't find very easy,

oinarrian jendeari erreza ez zaion

zerbait egitea suposatzen bait du.

for the most part.

Jakintzat jotzen duguna, nabarmena iruditzen zaiguna,

It means challenging what we take for granted,

things that we think are obvious.

desafiatzea suposatzen du.

The great problem for reform or transformation

Erreforma eta eraldakuntzarako

oztopo nagusia

is the tyranny of common sense.

zuhurtziaren tirania da--

jendeak uste dituen gauzak,

Things that people think,

"It can't be done differently, that's how it's done."

" Tira, ezin da beste inola egin, horrela egiten delako"

Duela gutxi Abraham Lincoln-en hitz batzuekin egin nuen topo,

I came across a great quote recently from Abraham Lincoln,

who I thought you'd be pleased to have quoted at this point.

, eta pentsatu nuen atsegin izango zenutela aipatzea.

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

He said this in December 1862 to the second annual meeting of Congress.

1862ko Abenduan esan zuen

Kongresuaren 2. urteroko bileran.

I ought to explain that I have no idea what was happening at the time.

Garai hartan gertatzen zenari buruzko idearik ez daukadala onartu behar dut.

We don't teach American history in Britain.

Ez dugu Amerikar Historiarik irakasten Britainia Handian.

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

We suppress it. You know, this is our policy.

Kendu egin dugu. Badakizue, hori da gure politika.

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

No doubt, something fascinating was happening then,

Beraz, zalantzarik gabe, zerbait erakargarria gertatzen ari zen 1862ko Abenduan

which the Americans among us will be aware of.

gure artean dauden Amerikarrek

ezagutuko dutena.

But he said this:

Berak hau esan zuen:

"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present.

"Iragan lasaiaren

dogmak

ez dira egokiak ekaitzez betetako orainarentzat.

Une hau

The occasion is piled high with difficulty,

zailtasunez josia dago

and we must rise with the occasion."

baina gertakariekin gora egin behar dugu."

Asko gustatzen zait.

I love that.

Not rise to it, rise with it.

Ez dauden tokira igo, beraiekin gora egin.

"As our case is new,

"Eta gure egoera berria da,

so we must think anew and act anew.

beraz era berri batean pentsatu behar dugu

eta era berri batean jokatu.

We must disenthrall ourselves,

gure buruari lilura galduarazi behar diogu

and then we shall save our country."

eta orduan gure herria salbatzeko gai izango gara."

I love that word, "disenthrall."

Asko gustatzen zait " lilura galdu"

You know what it means?

Badakizue zer esan nahi duen?

That there are ideas that all of us are enthralled to,

Zenbait ideiek erabat liluratuta gauzkate

which we simply take for granted as the natural order of things,

eta ontzat hartzen ditugu

gauzen ordena naturala balira bezala, gauzak diren era.

the way things are.

And many of our ideas have been formed,

Eta gure ideietatik asko

eratu ziren, ez mende hontako egoerei aurre egiteko,

not to meet the circumstances of this century,

but to cope with the circumstances of previous centuries.

baizik eta aurreko mendeetako egoerei aurre egiteko.

But our minds are still hypnotized by them,

Baina gure burua oraindik hipnotizatuta daukate.

and we have to disenthrall ourselves of some of them.

Eta gure burua lilura galtzera behartu behar dugu.

Now, doing this is easier said than done.

Orain, hau errazagoa da esatea egitea baino.

It's very hard to know, by the way, what it is you take for granted.

Oso zaila bait da jakintzat zer jotzen duzun ikustea,

And the reason is that you take it for granted.

jakintzat jotzen duzulako.

(Laughter)

Utzidazue begibistakotzat jotzen duzuen zerbaiti buruz galdetzen.

Let me ask you something you may take for granted.

How many of you here are over the age of 25?

Zuetatik zenbatek dituzue 25 urte baino gehiago?

That's not what you take for granted, I'm sure you're familiar with that.

Ez dut uste hori jakintzat jotzen duzuenik.

Ziur nago jadanik erabat ezaguna zaizuela.

Are there any people here under the age of 25?

Badago hemen 25 urte baino gutxiago duen norbait.?

Primeran. Orain 25 urte baino gehiago dituzuenok

Great. Now, those over 25,

could you put your hands up if you're wearing your wristwatch?

jasoko zenukete eskua ordularia badaramazue.?

Tira, gehiengoa gara, ezta.?

Now that's a great deal of us, isn't it?

Ask a room full of teenagers the same thing.

Galdetu horixe bera nerabeez betetako gela batean.

Teenagers do not wear wristwatches.

Nerabeek ez dute ordularirik erabiltzen.

I don't mean they can't,

Ez diot ezin dutenik edo uzten ez zaienik,

they just often choose not to.

ez erabiltzea erabakitzen dute soilik.

And the reason is we were brought up in a pre-digital culture,

Eta arrazoia zera da, 25 urtetik gorakoak

kultura pre-digital batean hazi ginen.

those of us over 25.

And so for us, if you want to know the time,

Guretzat, ordua jakin nahi ezkero,

you have to wear something to tell it.

ordua esaten zizun zerbait eraman behar zenuen.

Kids now live in a world which is digitized,

Gaur egungo haurrak mundu digitalizatu batean bizi dira

and the time, for them, is everywhere.

eta ordua, beraientzako, toki guztitan dago.

They see no reason to do this.

Ez dute hau egiteko arrazoirik ikusten.

And by the way, you don't need either;

Eta, era berean, zuek ere ez duzue hori egin beharrik;

it's just that you've always done it and you carry on doing it.

soilik horrela egin izan duzue beti, eta hori egiten jarraitzen duzue.

My daughter never wears a watch, my daughter Kate, who's 20.

Nire alabak ez du sekula ordularirik erabiltzen, 20 urte dituen nire alaba Kate-ek.

She doesn't see the point.

Ez dio inolako zentzurik topatzen.

As she says,

Eta esaten du "Funtzio bakarra duen aparatua da".

"It's a single-function device."

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

"Like, how lame is that?"

" Zeinen mugatua da hori?"

And I say, "No, no, it tells the date as well."

Eta nik diot " Ez, ez, data jakiteko ere balio du"

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

"It has multiple functions."

" Funtzio anitzak ditu".

(Laughter)

But, you see, there are things we're enthralled to in education.

Hezkuntzari dagokionez, zenbait gauzak liluratuta gauzkate.

Utzidazue adibide pare bat jartzen.

A couple of examples.

One of them is the idea of linearity:

Bata, lineartasunaren kontzeptua da,

that it starts here and you go through a track

hemen hasten zara, bide bat jarraitzen duzu,

and if you do everything right,

eta dena ondo egiten baduzu, amaieran

you will end up set for the rest of your life.

zuri bizitza guztirako prestatuta zaude.

Everybody who's spoken at TED has told us implicitly,

TED-n hizketa egin duten guztiek, inplizituki

or sometimes explicitly, a different story:

eta batzutan esplizituki, era desberdinetan kontatu digute

that life is not linear; it's organic.

bizitza ez dela lineala, organikoa dela.

We create our lives symbiotically

Gure bizitzak sinbiotikoki eratzen ditugu

as we explore our talents

gure talentuak esploratzen goazen neurrian

in relation to the circumstances they help to create for us.

gure sormenari laguntzen dioten zirkunstantziekin harremanetan.

But, you know, we have become obsessed with this linear narrative.

Baina badakizue, obsesionatu egin gara

narratiba lineal horrekin.

And probably the pinnacle for education is getting you to college.

Eta ziurrenik hezkuntzaren gailurra

Unibertsitatera iristea da.

I think we are obsessed with getting people to college.

Eta uste dut jendea unibertsitatera bidaltzearekin obsesionatuta gaudela,

Certain sorts of college.

zenbait unibertsitate mota.

I don't mean you shouldn't go, but not everybody needs to go,

Ez dut esan nahi unibertsitatera joan behar ez denik, baina mundu guztiak ez du joan behar,

or go now.

eta denek ez dute orain joan behar.

Maybe they go later, not right away.

Agian beranduago joango dira, ez orain bertan.

And I was up in San Francisco a while ago doing a book signing.

Duela gutxi San Francisco-n izan nintzen

liburuak sinatzen.

There was this guy buying a book, he was in his 30s.

Nire liburua erosi zuen 30 bat urteko tipo bat zegoen han.

I said, "What do you do?"

Eta galdetu nion " Zer egiten duzu?"

And he said, "I'm a fireman."

Eta esan zidan " Suhiltzailea naiz."

I asked, "How long have you been a fireman?"

Eta nik " Noiztik daramazu suhiltzailea izaten?"

"Always. I've always been a fireman."

Berak " Betidanik, beti izan naiz suhiltzailea".

Eta galdetu nion " Tira, eta noiz hartu zenuen erabakia?"

"Well, when did you decide?" He said, "As a kid.

Esan zidan " Umea nintzela. Benetan, niretzako problema bat zen eskolan,

Actually, it was a problem for me at school,

because at school, everybody wanted to be a fireman."

zeren eskolan, denek suhiltzaile izan nahi zuten."

(Laughter)

Esan zidan, "Baina nik suhiltzaile izan nahi nuen."

He said, "But I wanted to be a fireman."

Eta esan zidan, "Bigarren Hezkuntzako azken urtean,

And he said, "When I got to the senior year of school,

my teachers didn't take it seriously.

nire irakasleek ez zuten nire nahia serioski hartzen.

This one teacher didn't take it seriously.

Konkretuki irakasle bati ez zitzaion serioa iruditu.

He said I was throwing my life away

Nire bizitza alferrik galtzera nindoala esan zidan

if that's all I chose to do with it;

bizitzan hori bakarrik egitea aukeratzen banuen,

that I should go to college, I should become a professional person,

unibertsitatera joan beharko nukela eran zidan, profesional bat bihurtu,

that I had great potential

potentzial handia bait nuen,

and I was wasting my talent to do that."

eta aukera horrekin nire talentua alferrik galtzen ari nintzela esan zidan."

He said, "It was humiliating.

"Erabat lotsagarria izan zen

It was in front of the whole class and I felt dreadful.

klase guztiaren aurrean esan bait zidan, eta benetan ikaratuta sentitu nintzen."

But it's what I wanted, and as soon as I left school,

Baina hori zen nahi nuena, eta eskola utzi bezain pronto,

I applied to the fire service and I was accepted.

suhiltzaile izateko lan eskaera aurkeztu eta onartu ninduten."

You know, I was thinking about that guy recently,

Eta esan zidan " Badakizu, tipo horrengan pentsatzen ari nintzen,

just a few minutes ago when you were speaking, about this teacher,

duela pare bat minutu hizketan ari zinenean, irakasle hori etorri zait burura"

because six months ago, I saved his life."

" zeren eta duela sei hilabete

bizitza salbatu nion"

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

" Auto istripu batean degoen"

He said, "He was in a car wreck, and I pulled him out, gave him CPR,

bertatik atera eta erreanimatu nuen,

and I saved his wife's life as well."

eta bere emaztearen bizitza ere salbatu nuen"

He said, "I think he thinks better of me now."

Esan zidan " Uste dut nitaz iritzi hobea duela orain"

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

(Applause)

(Txaloak)

You know, to me,

Badakizue, niretzako

human communities depend upon a diversity of talent,

giza komunitateek

talentu-aniztasunaren mende daude

not a singular conception of ability.

ez abileziaren kontzeptu baten mende.

And at the heart of our challenges --

Eta gure erronken muinean----

(Applause)

(Txaloak)

At the heart of the challenge

Erronkaren muinean

is to reconstitute our sense of ability and of intelligence.

abilezia eta inteligentziaren zentzuak

berriro eratzeko beharra dago.

This linearity thing is a problem.

Linearitatea arazo bat da.

L.A.-ra iritsi nintzenean

When I arrived in L.A. about nine years ago,

duela bederatzi bat urte,

I came across a policy statement --

baieztapen hau topatu nuen,

intentzio onez betea,

very well-intentioned --

which said, "College begins in kindergarten."

" Unibertsitatea haurtzaindegian hasten da", zioena.

No, it doesn't.

Ez, ez da hor hasten.

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

It doesn't.

Ez da hor hasten.

If we had time, I could go into this, but we don't.

Denbora izango bagenu, hortaz arituko nintzateke, baina ez daukagu

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

Kindergarten begins in kindergarten.

Haurtzaindegia haurtzaindegian hasten da.

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

Nire lagun batek zion bezela

A friend of mine once said,

"A three year-old is not half a six year-old."

" Badakizu, hiru urteko bat ez da sei urteko baten erdia"

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

(Applause)

(Txaloak)

They're three.

Hiru urte dituzte.

But as we just heard in this last session,

Baina azkenengo saioan entzun genuen bezala,

there's such competition now to get into kindergarten --

hain lehia gogorra dago haurtzaindegira joateko,

to get to the right kindergarten --

haurtzaindegi egokira joateko,

that people are being interviewed for it at three.

hiru urteko umeak elkarrizketatzen ari direla.

Umeak esertzen dituzte bere curriculum-ekin

Kids sitting in front of unimpressed panels,

panel baten aurrean

you know, with their resumes --

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

Flicking through and saying, "What, this is it?"

eta gainbegirada bat emanez esaten zaie "Tira, hau al da dena?"

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

(Applause)

(Txaloak)

"You've been around for 36 months, and this is it?"

" 36 hilabete igaro dituzu hemendik, eta hau da guztia?"

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

"You've achieved nothing -- commit.

" Ez duzu ezer lortu, konprometi zaitez"

(Laughter)

Spent the first six months breastfeeding, I can see."

"Iruditzen zait lehen sei hilabeteak bularra hartzen alferrik galdu dituzula."

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

See, it's outrageous as a conception.

Bai, arraroa da kontzeptu bezala, baina jendea erakartzen du.

The other big issue is conformity.

Beste arazo larri bat konformismoa da.

We have built our education systems on the model of fast food.

Gure hezkuntza sistemak

"fast food" ereduaren inguruan eraiki ditugu.

This is something Jamie Oliver talked about the other day.

Jamie Olivierrek hontaz hitzegin zuen aurreko egunean.

There are two models of quality assurance in catering.

Catering kalitateari dagokionez, bi eredu daude.

Bata "fast-food"-arena

One is fast food, where everything is standardized.

non dena estandarizatuta dagoen.

The other is like Zagat and Michelin restaurants,

Eta bestea Zagat eta Michelin gidatan azaltzen diren jatetxeena.

where everything is not standardized,

non dena estandarizatu gabekoa den,

they're customized to local circumstances.

tokiko egoerari egokituta.

And we have sold ourselves into a fast-food model of education,

Eta gure burua "fast food" hezkuntza ereduari saldu diogu

and it's impoverishing our spirit and our energies

eta gure izpirituak eta energiak pobretzen ari da.

as much as fast food is depleting our physical bodies.

fast food-ak gure gorputzak hondatzen dituen neurri berdinean

(Txaloak)

(Applause)

Uste dut pare bat gauza onartu beharrean gaudela

We have to recognize a couple of things here.

Bata da giza talentua oso anitza dela.

One is that human talent is tremendously diverse.

People have very different aptitudes.

Pertsonek oso gaitasun ezberdinak dituzte.

I worked out recently that I was given a guitar as a kid

Aurrekoan kalkultzen egon nintzen

haurra nintzela gitarra bat eman zidatela

at about the same time that Eric Clapton got his first guitar.

gutxigora behera Eric Clapton-i eman zioten garai berdinean.

(Laughter)

It worked out for Eric, that's all I'm saying.

Badakizue, Eric-en kasuan asmatu zuten, hori da esaten ari naizena.

(Laughter)

(Barreak)

In a way --

Nere kasuan ez zen hala izan.

it did not for me.

I could not get this thing to work

Tramankulu horri ezin nion ezer atera,

no matter how often or how hard I blew into it.

ez zion inporta zein gogor saiatzen nintzen,

It just wouldn't work.

ezin ezer onik atera.

(Laughter)

Baina ez da hori bakarrik.

But it's not only about that.

It's about passion.

Pasioari buruz ari gara.

Often, people are good at things they don't really care for.

Sarri, jendea ona da benetan inporta ez zaizkion gauzatan.

Pasioa da gakoa,

It's about passion,

and what excites our spirit and our energy.

zerk iratzartzen duen gure izpiritua eta gure energia.

And if you're doing the thing that you love to do, that you're good at,

Eta maite duzuna egiten baduzu, eta ona zaren hortan badiharduzu,

time takes a different course entirely.

denborak norabide erabat desberdina hartzen du.

My wife's just finished writing a novel,

Nire emazteak nobela bat idatzi du, oraintxe amaitu du,

and I think it's a great book,

eta uste dut oso liburu ona dela,

but she disappears for hours on end.

baina desagertu egiten da, eta amaigabeko orduak pasatzen ditu.

You know this, if you're doing something you love,

Badakizue, maite duzun zerbaitetan ari zarenean,

an hour feels like five minutes.

ordu bat bost minutu balira bezela iragaten da.

If you're doing something that doesn't resonate with your spirit,

Zure izprituan oihartzunik ez duen zerbaitetan ari zarenean,

bost minutu ordubete balitz bezala sentitzen duzu.

five minutes feels like an hour.

And the reason so many people are opting out of education

Eta hainbeste jendek hezkuntzatik at egitea erabakitzen du

is because it doesn't feed their spirit,

ez duelako bere izpiritua elikatzen,

it doesn't feed their energy or their passion.

ez beraien energia edo pasioa elikatzen.

Beraz, uste dut metaforak aldatu beharra daukagula.

So I think we have to change metaphors.

We have to go from what is essentially an industrial model of education,

Funtsean industriala den hezkuntza eredu batetik,

manufaktura-eredutik,

a manufacturing model,

which is based on linearity and conformity and batching people.

linearitatean, konformitatean

eta jendea loteka prozesatzean oinarritua den eredutik

We have to move to a model

Nekazaritzaren printzipiotan oinarritutako

that is based more on principles of agriculture.

eredu baterantz mugitu behar dugu.

We have to recognize

Onartu behar dugu giza-loratzea

that human flourishing is not a mechanical process;

ez dela prozesu mekaniko bat,

it's an organic process.

prozesu organiko bat dela.

And you cannot predict the outcome of human development.

Eta ezin duzu giza-garapenaren emaitza zein izango den aurresan,

egin dezakezun guztia, nekazarien moduan,

All you can do, like a farmer, is create the conditions

loraldia hasteko beharrezkoak diren

under which they will begin to flourish.

baldintzak sortzea da.

So when we look at reforming education and transforming it,

Beraz, hezkuntza erreformatu eta eraldatzeaz ari garenean,

it isn't like cloning a system.

ez da sistema bat klonatzea bezala.

There are great ones, like KIPP's; it's a great system.

Oso sistema onak daude, adibidez KIPP.

There are many great models.

Eredu on asko dago.

It's about customizing to your circumstances

Hezkuntza jasotzen dutenen egoeraren neurrira

and personalizing education to the people you're actually teaching.

egokitu eta pertsonalizatu

behar dugu hezkuntza bera.

And doing that, I think, is the answer to the future

Eta hau egitea da, nire ustez

etorkizunerako erantzuna

because it's not about scaling a new solution;

gakoa ez delako konponbide berri bat zabaltzea;

it's about creating a movement in education

baizik eta hezkuntzan mugimendu bat sortzea

in which people develop their own solutions,

non bakoitzak bere konponbideak garatuko dituen,

but with external support based on a personalized curriculum.

baina pertsonalizatutako curriculum batetan oinarritutako kanpo-laguntzarekin.

Now in this room,

Orain, gela hontan,

there are people who represent extraordinary resources in business,

negozio munduan baliabide izugarriak

ordezten dituzten pertsonak daude,

in multimedia, in the Internet.

multimedia arloan, interneten.

These technologies,

Teknologia hauek,

combined with the extraordinary talents of teachers,

irakasleen talentu apartarekin konbinaketan,

provide an opportunity to revolutionize education.

irakaskuntza iraultzeko aukera ematen digute.

And I urge you to get involved in it

Eta hortara konprometi zaitezten eskatzen dizuet

funtsezkoa delako, ez guretzako soilik,

because it's vital, not just to ourselves, but to the future of our children.

baita gure haurren etorkizunerako ere.

But we have to change from the industrial model

baina aldatu beharra daukagu, industri-eredu batetik

nekazal eredu batetara,

to an agricultural model,

where each school can be flourishing tomorrow.

non eskola bakoitzak etorkizunean loratzeko ahalmena izango duen.

That's where children experience life.

Hor ezagutzen bait dute haurrek bizitza.

Or at home, if that's what they choose,

Edo etxean, hor hezten badituzte

to be educated with their families or friends.

beraien familia eta lagunekin.

There's been a lot of talk about dreams over the course of these few days.

Ametsei buruz asko hitzegin da

azken egun hauetan.

And I wanted to just very quickly --

Eta nahi nuke era azkarrean---

I was very struck by Natalie Merchant's songs last night,

Asko impresionatu ninduten bart gaueko Natalie Merchant-en abestiek,

recovering old poems.

poema zaharrak berreskuratuz.

I wanted to read you a quick, very short poem

Olerki labur bat irakurri nahi nizueke,

from W. B. Yeats, who some of you may know.

W.B. Yeats-ek idatzia, zuetako askok ezaguruko duzue.

He wrote this to his love, Maud Gonne,

Bere maiteari idatzi zion,

Maud Gonne-i

and he was bewailing the fact

Atsekabetuta zegoen, uste zuelako

that he couldn't really give her what he thought she wanted from him.

ezin ziola bere maiteari hark nahi zuena eman,

And he says, "I've got something else, but it may not be for you."

Eta esaten du, "Badut beste zerbait, baina agian ez duzu nahiko"

He says this:

Hauxe dio:

"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

"Zeruaren oihal bordatuak banitu

Enwrought with gold and silver light,

urrez eta zilarrezko

argiz apainduak.

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

Urdina eta lausoa

eta gauaren oihal ilunak,

Of night and light and the half-light,

eta argia eta argi ahula,

oihalak zure oinetara zabalduko nituzke;

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

Baina nik, pobre naizenez,

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

nire ametsak besterik ez ditut;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Nire ametsak zure oinetara zabaldu ditut,

Poliki zapaldu

Tread softly

because you tread on my dreams."

nire ametsak zapaltzen ari bait zara."

And every day, everywhere,

Eta egunero, toki guztietan,

our children spread their dreams beneath our feet.

gure haurrek bere ametsak gure oinetara zabaltzen dituzte.

And we should tread softly.

Eta poliki zapaldu beharko genuke.

Thank you.

Eskerrikasko

(Applause)

(Txaloak)

Thank you very much.

(Applause)

Thank you.

(Applause)

Mila esker.
