Traditionally, schools teach mathematics, language, humanities, etc. There is a kind of empty space on subjects such as music and arts. Even if there are classes of these subjects, are not enough. There is a conception dated since XIX century that considers arts as secondary, even tertiary; this conception still being used. If this continues like this there will be a lot of “classical” professionals and no musicians, no artist, no dancers, and so on.
I completely agree with Sir Ken Robinson. Schools kills creativity because is like a systematic program, with no space for the uncommon, no space for the children to express themselves, no space for imagination, no space for creativity. Leaving the kids without creativity is like “cutting their wings”.
Another important topic is that adults have fear to mistake because when they were children they were not allowed to be creative. That means that this is a vicious circle. We must do something now. However, making mistakes is not a synonym of creativity, but making mistakes is part of the process to be creative.

Hello Sebastián, how are you going?? What should happen if suddenly, everyone was frustrated studying a career which doesn`t like just because his or her school just imparted Math and not music. A bad engineer will have been privated of being a great musician. Wow! Good luck!
