So much with "innovative" and "creative" education. Big talk by liberals, but bring zero results.
The UK is a smart country with smart people, but they kill themselves by those liberal ideas. As Korea just started production of tanks and SPH more than 30 years ago but now conquering the Western market where the UK failed miserably and even has considered to import K9 SPH or tanks from Korea, one can be confident to say that the UK education system, which focuses on "innovative", has failed.
The last technological thing the UK still excels on, aside from some niche products, is aeroengine. But i do not think this will last for long.
