Bring on the learning revolution! | Ken Robinson

Translator: Matej Divjak Reviewer: Špela Reher

I was here four years ago,

Tukaj sem bil pred štirimi leti

and I remember, at the time,

in spomnim se, da se takrat

that the talks weren't put online.

govori niso objavljali na spletu;

I think they were given to TEDsters in a box,

mislim, da so jih dajali TEDovcem v škatli,

a box set of DVDs,

v setu DVD-jev,

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

ki so jih ti dali na police, kjer so še zdaj.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

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

In tako me je Chris poklical

en teden po mojem govoru

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

in mi rekel: "Začeli jih bomo objavljati na spletu.

Lahko objavimo tvojega?" In sem rekel: "Seveda."

And I said, "Sure."

And four years later,

In štiri leta kasneje,

it's been downloaded four million times.

kot sem rekel, si ga je ogledalo štiri ...

pravzaprav so ga sneli s spleta štirimilijonkrat.

Zato sklepam, da lahko to pomnožimo recimo z 20,

So I suppose you could multiply that by 20 or something

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

da dobimo število ljudi, ki ga je videlo.

In kot pravi Chris, obstaja lakota

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

po mojih videih.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

(Applause)

(aplavz)

Don't you feel?

... čutite?

(Laughter)

(smeh)

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

Ves ta dogodek je bil torej dovršena reklama

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

zame, da naredim še enega in tukaj je.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

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

Al Gore je predaval

na isti TED konferenci kot jaz pred štirimi leti

and talked about the climate crisis.

in govoril o podnebni krizi.

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

In na to sem se navezal

ob koncu mojega prejšnjega govora.

So I want to pick up from there

Zato bi zdaj nadaljeval kar od tam,

because I only had 18 minutes, frankly.

ker sem, iskreno rečeno, imel samo 18 minut.

(Laughter)

So, as I was saying --

Kot sem torej govoril...

(Laughter)

(smeh)

Vidite, prav ima.

You see, he's right.

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

Mislim, očitno je, da imamo večjo podnebno krizo.

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

In mislim, da če ljudje tega ne verjamejo, naj malo več hodijo ven.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

Vendar pa menim, da obstaja tudi druga podnebna kriza,

But I believe there is a second climate crisis,

which is as severe,

ki je prav tako huda,

which has the same origins,

ima enak izvor

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

in s katero se moramo spopasti z enako nujo.

In s tem mislim --

And you may say, by the way,

mimogrede, lahko rečete "Glej, dovolj je.

"Look, I'm good.

Imam eno podnebno krizo;

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

res ne rabim še druge."

(Laughter)

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

Vendar to ni kriza naravnih virov,

čeprav verjamem, da je tudi to res,

though I believe that's true --

but a crisis of human resources.

temveč kriza človeških virov.

I believe fundamentally,

V bistvu verjamem,

as many speakers have said during the past few days,

kot je reklo že več govorcev v zadnjih nekaj dneh,

da zelo slabo izkoriščamo

that we make very poor use of our talents.

svoje talente.

Very many people go through their whole lives

Zelo veliko ljudi skozi vse svoje življenje

having no real sense of what their talents may be,

nimajo pravega občutka, kakšne talente morda imajo,

or if they have any to speak of.

ali če sploh imajo kakšnega omembe vrednega.

Srečujem vsakovrstne ljudi,

I meet all kinds of people

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

ki mislijo, da niso v ničemer res dobri.

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

Pravzaprav zdaj delim svet na dve skupini.

Jeremy Bentham, the great utilitarian philosopher,

Jeremy Bentham, slavni utilitaristični filozof,

once spiked this argument.

je nekoč ta argument zabil.

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

Rekel je: "Na svetu sta dve vrsti ljudi,

those who divide the world into two types

tisti, ki delijo svet na dve vrsti

and those who do not."

in tisti, ki ga ne."

(Laughter)

(smeh)

Well, I do.

No, jaz ga.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

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

Srečujem vsakovrstne ljudi,

ki ne uživajo v tem, kar počnejo.

They simply go through their lives getting on with it.

Preprosto živijo,

sprijaznjeni s tem.

They get no great pleasure from what they do.

Nobene radosti nimajo v svojem delu.

They endure it rather than enjoy it,

Prenašajo ga, namesto, da bi v njem uživali

and wait for the weekend.

in čakajo na vikend.

But I also meet people

Srečujem pa tudi ljudi,

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

ki ljubijo svoje delo in si

ne znajo predstavljati, da bi počeli karkoli drugega.

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

Če bi jim rekli: "Ne delaj več tega,", bi se spraševali, o čem govorite.

they'd wonder what you're talking about.

Ker ne gre za to, kar delajo, ampak za to, kar so.

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

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

Pravijo: "Ampak to sem jaz, veš.

It would be foolish to abandon this,

Bilo bi neumno, če bi se temu odpovedal, ker

because it speaks to my most authentic self."

nagovarja moj pravi jaz."

And it's not true of enough people.

In to ne velja za zadosti ljudi.

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

V bistvu ravno nasprotno; mislim,

da so zagotovo v manjšini.

And I think there are many possible explanations for it.

In mislim, da je mnogo

možnih razlag tega.

And high among them is education,

Visoko med njimi

je izobraževanje,

because education, in a way,

ker izobraževanje na nek način

zelo mnogo ljudi odrine stran

dislocates very many people from their natural talents.

od njihovih naravnih talentov.

In človeški viri so kot naravni viri;

And human resources are like natural resources;

pogosto so globoko zakopani.

they're often buried deep.

You have to go looking for them,

Morate jih iti iskati.

they're not just lying around on the surface.

Ne ležijo kar tako na površju.

You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.

Ustvariti morate okoliščine, v katerih se pokažejo.

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

In mogoče si predstavljate,

da bo za to poskrbela izobrazba.

but too often, it's not.

Vendar prepogosto ne.

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

Vse sisteme izobraževanja na svetu

trenutno reformirajo.

and it's not enough.

In to ni dovolj.

Reform is no use anymore,

Reforme niso več uporabne,

ker samo izboljšujejo zgrešen model.

because that's simply improving a broken model.

Kar potrebujemo --

What we need --

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

in ta beseda se je v teh nekaj dneh pogosto uporabila --

ni evolucija,

is not evolution,

temveč revolucija v izobraževanju.

but a revolution in education.

Mora se preoblikovati

This has to be transformed into something else.

v nekaj drugega.

(Applause)

(aplavz)

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

Eden od resničnih izzivov

je prenoviti osnovo

izobraževanja.

Innovation is hard,

Prenavljanje je težko,

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

saj pomeni početje nečesa,

kar se ljudem večinoma ne zdi preprosto.

for the most part.

Pomeni izpodbijanje stvari, ki so nam samoumevne,

It means challenging what we take for granted,

things that we think are obvious.

stvari, ki se nam zdijo očitne.

The great problem for reform or transformation

Velik problem za reformo

ali preoblikovanje

is the tyranny of common sense.

je tiranija zdrave pameti --

stvari, ki jih ljudje mislijo:

Things that people think,

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

"Ne da se narediti drugače, ker se to dela na ta način."

Pred kratkim sem naletel na odličen citat Abrahama Lincolna,

I came across a great quote recently from Abraham Lincoln,

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

za katerega sem mislil, da boste zadovoljni, če ga na tej točki citiram.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

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

To je rekel decembra 1862

na drugem letnem zasedanju kongresa.

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

Razložiti moram, da nimam pojma, kaj se je takrat dogajalo.

We don't teach American history in Britain.

V Britaniji ne učimo ameriške zgodovine.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

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

Zatiramo jo. Veste, to je naša politika.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

No doubt, something fascinating was happening then,

Nedvomno se je decembra 1862 dogajalo nekaj očarljivega,

which the Americans among us will be aware of.

česar se Američani med nami

zavedajo.

But he said this:

A rekel je to:

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

"Dogme

tihe preteklosti

niso kos razburkani sedanjosti.

Situacija

The occasion is piled high with difficulty,

je polna težav

and we must rise with the occasion."

in s situacijo se moramo dvigniti."

To mi je všeč.

I love that.

Not rise to it, rise with it.

Ne spopasti se z njo, dvigniti se z njo.

"As our case is new,

"Ker je naš primer nov,

so we must think anew and act anew.

moramo misliti na nov način

in tudi delati na nov način.

We must disenthrall ourselves,

Osvoboditi se moramo jarma

and then we shall save our country."

in potem bomo rešili našo deželo."

I love that word, "disenthrall."

Všeč mi je ta beseda, "osvoboditi".

You know what it means?

Veste, kaj pomeni?

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

Da obstajajo ideje, ki smo jim vsi podvrženi,

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

ki so nam preprosto samoumevne,

kot naravni red stvari, kako stvari so.

the way things are.

And many of our ideas have been formed,

In veliko naših idej

je bilo oblikovanih, ne da se soočijo s težavami tega stoletja,

not to meet the circumstances of this century,

but to cope with the circumstances of previous centuries.

temveč da bi se kosale z okoliščinami preteklih stoletij.

But our minds are still hypnotized by them,

Vendar je naš razum še vedno hipnotiziran z njimi.

and we have to disenthrall ourselves of some of them.

In od nekaj teh idej se moramo osvoboditi.

Now, doing this is easier said than done.

To je seveda lažje reči, kot narediti.

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

Zelo težko je vedeti, mimogrede, kaj je tisto, kar nam je samoumevno.

And the reason is that you take it for granted.

Razlog za to je, da nam je to samoumevno.

(Laughter)

Naj vas torej vprašam nekaj, kar morda jemljete kot samoumevno.

Let me ask you something you may take for granted.

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

Koliko tukaj vas je starih več kot 25?

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

To ni to, kar mislim, da vam je samoumevno.

Prepričan sem, da vam je to že znano.

Are there any people here under the age of 25?

Je tukaj kaj ljudi mlajših od 25?

Odlično. Sedaj pa tisti čez 25,

Great. Now, those over 25,

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

lahko dvignete roke, če nosite zapestne ure?

Kar velik delež nas je, kaj ne?

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

Ask a room full of teenagers the same thing.

Vprašajte isto sobo polno najstnikov.

Teenagers do not wear wristwatches.

Najstniki ne nosijo zapestnih ur.

I don't mean they can't,

Ne mislim, da ne morejo ali da ne smejo,

they just often choose not to.

večinoma se odločijo, da jih ne bodo.

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

Razlog za to pa je, da smo tisti, ki smo starejši

od 25, odraščali v preddigitalni družbi.

those of us over 25.

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

Tako, če želimo vedeti, koliko je ura,

you have to wear something to tell it.

moramo nositi nekaj, kar nam bo to povedalo.

Kids now live in a world which is digitized,

Današnja mladina živi v digitaliziranem svetu

and the time, for them, is everywhere.

in oni imajo uro povsod.

They see no reason to do this.

Ne vidijo razloga, da bi to počeli.

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

In mimogrede, tudi vam ni treba;

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

ampak, ker ste to vedno počeli, to počnete še naprej.

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

Moja hčerka nikoli ne nosi ure, moja hčerka Kate, ki je stara 20.

She doesn't see the point.

V tem ne vidi smisla.

As she says,

In pravi, "To je naprava s samo eno funkcijo."

"It's a single-function device."

(Laughter)

(smeh)

"Like, how lame is that?"

"Mislim, to je pa res bedno!"

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

In potem rečem, "Ne, ne, tudi datum kaže."

(Laughter)

(smeh)

"It has multiple functions."

"Ima več funkcij."

(Laughter)

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

Ampak, vidite, obstajajo stvari, ki smo jim podvrženi v izobraževanju.

Naj navedem nekaj primerov.

A couple of examples.

One of them is the idea of linearity:

Ena od njih je ideja linearnosti,

that it starts here and you go through a track

da se začne tukaj in greste po progi

and if you do everything right,

in če boste vse naredili pravilno, boste

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

pripravljeni za preostanek življenja.

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

Vsi, ki so govorili na TED, so nam implicitno povedali,

or sometimes explicitly, a different story:

včasih tudi eksplicitno, drugačno zgodbo,

that life is not linear; it's organic.

da življenje ni linearno, temveč organsko.

We create our lives symbiotically

Svoja življenja ustvarjamo v simbiozi,

as we explore our talents

ko raziskujemo svoje talente

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

v odnosu do okoliščin, ki nam jih pomagajo ustvariti.

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

Toda veste, postali smo obsedeni

s to linearno pripovedjo.

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

In najbrž je vrhunec izobraževanja,

da se vpišemo na fakulteto.

I think we are obsessed with getting people to college.

Mislim, da smo obsedeni s tem, da ljudi spravljamo na fakulteto,

Certain sorts of college.

v določene vrste fakultet.

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

Ne pravim, da naj ne greste na fakulteto, vendar vsem ni treba

or go now.

in ni treba vsem iti zdaj.

Maybe they go later, not right away.

Mogoče bodo šli kasneje, ne takoj.

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

Pred nekaj časa sem bil v San Franciscu,

kjer sem podpisoval knjige.

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

In tam je bil en kupec, v svojih tridesetih.

I said, "What do you do?"

Vprašal sem ga: "Kaj delate?"

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

In odgovoril je: "Gasilec sem."

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

In vprašal sem: "Kako dolgo ste že gasilec?"

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

Rekel je: "Vedno sem bil gasilec."

In sem ga vprašal: "Kdaj pa ste se odločili?"

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

"Kot otrok," je rekel. "Pravzaprav je bil v šoli to zame problem,

Actually, it was a problem for me at school,

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

ker so v šoli vsi želeli biti gasilci."

(Laughter)

Rekel je: "Vendar želel sem postati gasilec."

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

In rekel je: "Ko sem bil v zadnjem razredu šole,

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

my teachers didn't take it seriously.

me učitelji niso jemali resno.

This one teacher didn't take it seriously.

Še posebno en učitelj me ni jemal resno.

He said I was throwing my life away

Rekel je, da mečem svoje življenje stran,

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

če je to vse, kar bom naredil z njim,

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

naj grem raje na fakulteto, naj postanem profesionalec,

that I had great potential

da imam velik potencial

and I was wasting my talent to do that."

in da zapravljam svoj talent za gasilstvo."

He said, "It was humiliating.

In rekel je: "Bilo je ponižujoče, ker je

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

to povedal pred celim razredom in res sem počutil grozno.

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

Vendar sem si to želel in kakor hitro sem šel iz šole,

I applied to the fire service and I was accepted.

sem se prijavil pri gasilcih in bil sem sprejet."

You know, I was thinking about that guy recently,

"Veste, o tem učitelju sem malo prej razmišljal,

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

pred nekaj minutami, ko ste govorili,"

because six months ago, I saved his life."

je rekel, "ker sem mu pred pol leta

rešil življenje."

(Laughter)

(smeh)

Rekel je: "Bil je v razbitem avtu

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

in izvlekel sem ga, ga oživljal,

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

rešil pa sem tudi življenje njegove žene."

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

Rekel je: "Mislim, da ima zdaj boljše mnenje o meni."

(Laughter)

(smeh)

(Applause)

(aplavz)

You know, to me,

Veste, zame so

human communities depend upon a diversity of talent,

človeške skupnosti odvisne

od raznolikih talentov,

not a singular conception of ability.

ne pa od enotnega pojmovanja sposobnosti.

And at the heart of our challenges --

In v srcu naših izzivov --

(Applause)

(aplavz)

At the heart of the challenge

V srcu izziva je,

is to reconstitute our sense of ability and of intelligence.

da na novo vzpostavimo naše dojemanje

sposobnosti in inteligence.

This linearity thing is a problem.

Ta linearnost je problem.

Ko sem pred devetimi leti

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

prispel v Los Angeles,

I came across a policy statement --

sem naletel na izjavo o politiki

z zelo dobrimi nameni,

very well-intentioned --

which said, "College begins in kindergarten."

ki je trdila: "Fakulteta se začne v vrtcu."

No, it doesn't.

Ne, se ne.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

It doesn't.

Se ne.

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

Če bi imeli čas, bi se lahko temu posvetil, vendar ga nimamo.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

Kindergarten begins in kindergarten.

Vrtec se začne v vrtcu.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

Moj prijatelj je nekoč rekel:

A friend of mine once said,

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

"Veš, triletnik ni polovica šestletnika."

(Laughter)

(smeh)

(Applause)

(aplavz)

They're three.

Tri so.

But as we just heard in this last session,

Ampak, kot smo slišali na prejšnji seji,

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

je zdaj takšna konkurenca za vpis v vrtec,

to get to the right kindergarten --

za vpis v pravi vrtec,

that people are being interviewed for it at three.

da so otroci na razgovorih za vpis, ko so stari tri leta.

Otroci, ki sedijo pred neimpresioniranimi odbori,

Kids sitting in front of unimpressed panels,

veste, s svojimi rezimeji,

you know, with their resumes --

(Laughter)

(smeh)

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

ki jih preletavajo in sprašujejo: "To je to?"

(Laughter)

(smeh)

(Applause)

(aplavz)

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

"Na svetu si že 36 mesecev in to je vse?"

(Laughter)

(smeh)

"You've achieved nothing -- commit.

"Nič nisi dosegel, priznaj.

(Laughter)

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

Kolikor vidim, si prvih šest mesecev samo sesal pri mami."

(Laughter)

(smeh)

See, it's outrageous as a conception.

Vidite, nezaslišana zamisel, vendar privlači ljudi.

The other big issue is conformity.

Drug velik problem je konformnost.

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

Svoje izobraževalne sisteme smo zgradili

po modelu hitre prehrane.

This is something Jamie Oliver talked about the other day.

O tem je pred nekaj dnevi govoril Jamie Oliver.

There are two models of quality assurance in catering.

V gostinstvu sta dva modela zagotavljanja kakovosti.

En je hitra prehrana,

One is fast food, where everything is standardized.

kjer je vse standardizirano.

The other is like Zagat and Michelin restaurants,

Drug pa so stvari kot restavracije Zagat in Michelin,

where everything is not standardized,

kjer ni vse standardizirano,

they're customized to local circumstances.

prilagodijo se lokalnim okoliščinam.

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

In prodali smo se v izobraževanje po modelu hitre prehrane.

and it's impoverishing our spirit and our energies

To pa osiromašuje našega duha in naše energije,

as much as fast food is depleting our physical bodies.

tako kot hitra prehrana izčrpava naša fizična telesa.

(aplavz)

(Applause)

Mislim, da si moramo priznati dvoje.

We have to recognize a couple of things here.

Prvič, da je človeški talent sila raznolik.

One is that human talent is tremendously diverse.

People have very different aptitudes.

Ljudje imajo zelo različne nadarjenosti.

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

Nedavno sem spoznal,

da so mi kot otroku dali kitaro

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

ob približno enakem času, kot je Eric Clapton dobil svojo prvo kitaro.

(Laughter)

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

Veste, Ericu se je izšlo, samo to pravim.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

In a way --

Na nek način se zame ni.

it did not for me.

I could not get this thing to work

Te reči nisem mogel spraviti v delovanje,

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

ne glede na to, kako pogosto in kako močno sem pihal vanjo.

It just wouldn't work.

Preprosto ni delala.

(Laughter)

Vendar ne gre samo za to.

But it's not only about that.

It's about passion.

Gre za strast.

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

Pogosto so ljudje dobri v rečeh, za katere jim ni mar.

Gre za strast

It's about passion,

and what excites our spirit and our energy.

in kar draži naš duh in našo energijo.

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

In če počnete nekaj, kar imate radi in v čemer ste dobri,

time takes a different course entirely.

gre čas po čisto drugačni poti.

My wife's just finished writing a novel,

Moja žena je pravkar zaključila s pisanjem romana

and I think it's a great book,

in mislim, da je imenitna knjiga,

but she disappears for hours on end.

vendar izgine za več ur.

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

Veste, kako je to, če delate nekaj, kar imate radi,

an hour feels like five minutes.

in se ura zdi kot pet minut.

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

Če delate nekaj, kar ni v sozvočju z vašim duhom,

se pet minut zdi kot ena ura.

five minutes feels like an hour.

And the reason so many people are opting out of education

In razlog, da toliko ljudi prekine izobraževanje,

is because it doesn't feed their spirit,

je to, da jim ne hrani duha,

it doesn't feed their energy or their passion.

ne hrani jim energije ali njihove strasti.

Tako da mislim, da moramo spremeniti podobe.

So I think we have to change metaphors.

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

Moramo preiti od v svojem bistvu industrijskega modela izobraževanja,

proizvodnega modela,

a manufacturing model,

which is based on linearity and conformity and batching people.

ki temelji na linearnosti

in konformnosti in kupčkanju ljudi.

We have to move to a model

Premakniti se moramo k modelu,

that is based more on principles of agriculture.

ki temelji na principih poljedelstva.

We have to recognize

Zavedati se moramo, da človeški napredek

that human flourishing is not a mechanical process;

ni mehanični proces,

it's an organic process.

je organski proces.

And you cannot predict the outcome of human development.

In ne morete predvideti rezultata človeškega razvoja;

vse, kar lahko naredite, tako kot kmet,

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

je, da ustvarite pogoje, pod katerimi

under which they will begin to flourish.

bodo začeli napredovati.

So when we look at reforming education and transforming it,

Ko pogledamo na reformiranje in spreminjanje izobraževanja,

it isn't like cloning a system.

ne gre za kloniranje sistema.

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

Obstajajo sijajni sistemi kot je KIPP (program znanje je moč), to je sijajen sistem.

There are many great models.

Obstajajo mnogi sijajni modeli.

It's about customizing to your circumstances

Gre za prilagajanje vašim okoliščinam

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

in poosebljanje izobraževanja

z ljudmi, ki jih dejansko učite.

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

In to početje je po mojem mnenju

odgovor prihodnosti,

because it's not about scaling a new solution;

saj ne gre za določanje nove rešitve;

it's about creating a movement in education

gre za oblikovanje gibanja v izobraževanju,

in which people develop their own solutions,

v katerem ljudje razvijajo svoje lastne rešitve,

but with external support based on a personalized curriculum.

vendar z zunanjo podporo, ki temelji na poosebljenem kurikulumu.

Now in this room,

V tem prostoru

there are people who represent extraordinary resources in business,

so ljudje, ki predstavljajo

izjemne vire v poslovnem svetu,

in multimedia, in the Internet.

v multimediji, na spletu.

These technologies,

Te tehnologije,

combined with the extraordinary talents of teachers,

kombinirane z izjemnimi talenti učiteljev,

provide an opportunity to revolutionize education.

ponujajo priložnost za revolucioniranje izobraževanja.

And I urge you to get involved in it

In pozivam vas, da se vključite,

ker je odločilno, ne samo za nas,

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

ampak tudi za prihodnost naših otrok,

But we have to change from the industrial model

vendar moramo preiti od industrijskega modela

k poljedelskemu modelu,

to an agricultural model,

where each school can be flourishing tomorrow.

kjer je vsaka šola lahko uspešna jutri.

That's where children experience life.

Tam otroci izkusijo življenje.

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

Ali doma, če izberejo, da se bodo šolali doma

to be educated with their families or friends.

s svojimi družinami in prijatelji.

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

V teh dneh je bilo

veliko govora o sanjah.

And I wanted to just very quickly --

In samo na hitro želim --

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

Sinoči so me pesmi Natalie Merchant, ki obuja staro poezijo,

recovering old poems.

zadele v živo.

I wanted to read you a quick, very short poem

Želel sem vam prebrati hitro, zelo kratko pesem

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

W.B. Yeatsa, ki ga morda poznate.

He wrote this to his love, Maud Gonne,

To je napisal svoji ljubezni,

Maud Gonne,

and he was bewailing the fact

in objokoval je dejstvo,

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

da ji ni mogel v resnici nuditi, kar je mislil, da želi od njega.

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

In pravi: "Imam nekaj drugega, a morda ni zate."

He says this:

Pravi to:

"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,

"Ko bi imel nebeško okrašene obleke,

Enwrought with gold and silver light,

obdelane z zlato

in srebrno svetlobo,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths

modre in mračne

in temne obleke

Of night and light and the half-light,

noči in svetlobe in polsvetlobe,

bi jih razprostrl pred tvojimi nogami;

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

A reven kot sem,

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;

imam samo svoje sanje;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

razgrnil sem svoje sanje pred tvojimi nogami;

stopaj narahlo,

Tread softly

because you tread on my dreams."

ker hodiš po mojih sanjah."

And every day, everywhere,

In vsak dan, povsod,

our children spread their dreams beneath our feet.

naši otroci razgrinjajo svoje sanje pod našimi nogami.

And we should tread softly.

In stopati moramo narahlo.

Thank you.

Hvala.

(Applause)

(aplavz)

Thank you very much.

(Applause)

Thank you.

(Applause)

Najlepša hvala.
