Creating and Crafting Inventors and Innovators

Innovation represents an essential component of economic growth, and countries aspire to be innovative nations. However, innovation is only really possible with the commitment of a particular kind of people, those who have the necessary attributes and skills as well as the opportunities to be in a position to be able to innovate. Inventors and innovators are crucial to this whole process so how does a nation best identify, understand, support and nurture such inventive and innovative individuals throughout education and in doing so instil a love of learning, empower creativity, the development of “self” while also embracing their challenges to systems and orthodoxy.
