This is a reaction post to the new posts of Andrew Sutton and Judit Szathmary. Those posts had a meeting point in my mind. Andrew was questioning who would be responsible for getting CE a goverment recognised system in UK and he has list of the bodies who have not succeeded so far. In the meantime Judit was writing about Sir Ken Robinson who was invited by the government to to establish and lead a national commission on creativity, education and the economy...
Isn't it strange? Well, of course not. The government decides who to invite and what to do which is normal in democratic countries. It seems to me that if the British government did not want to recognise CE in the past 30 years, it probably won't happen in the near future either. No, I am not negative, I am not pessimistic but we have to realise the reality at some point. There were countries that did not know about CE up till the late nineties, but now use the system. We are sentenced to be in the private sector in the UK without any help from the goverment. The society of people who are interested were never big (thanks God) and strong enough to make a real push or start a "civil war". The government itself is not interested! It is a pity. I thought scientific actions might develop this problem. So far however, nothing has happened. There were recently positive PhDs and good results of studies published on CE - yet there has still been no response! The UK is not interested, and those who are involved seem to be met with obstacles at each turn.
