Reimagining Education: Why Emotional Intelligence and Creativity Matter

“We must look to the children as a vehicle for bringing change to humanity” –Maria Montessori.
Education is the most priceless possession a person can own. We live in a time where education is given a lot of importance so that, children can grow up and have a better
future and live comfortably. However, many educational institutions worldwide,
give all the attention to academics while neglecting emotional intelligence
(EQ) and creativity. Without a doubt, excelling in academics will get you to a
dream job, but science and math alone can’t help one to live their life. Let’s
get a glimpse of how the society would look like, when educational institutions
all around the world focus on EQ and creativity as much as academics.
Children who are empathetic will be able to feel kindness and compassion for others. They grow up feeling understood, and valued, thereby will not question their worth based on external circumstances. Emotional intelligence enhances mental health and
they will know how to handle frustration and deal with major setbacks, personal
loss and disappointment in a healthy manner. They will be able to express their
views and opinions more confidently, and build healthy relationship with others
through effective communication. Allowing them to be creative, will let them
come up with innovative ideas, share their unique perception about the world.
They will be open to new approaches, be curious about how everything around
them works, which encourages them to get out of their comfort zone and explore,
with no fear of failure. Creativity helps them express their individuality,
emotions, values and thoughts. By giving EQ and creativity the same importance
as academics, the society we live in, will be welcoming diversity and creating
a safe space for everyone.
By empowering communities, great economy and global harmony can be achieved. We will have individuals who will listen without judgement which will leave more room for peace and love. How we function in society is taught, so with proper education we would have the power to bring peace to the world.
