Abstract: The teacher who provides a learning environment where a child can learn by himself/herself and doesn’t imposes his /her own theories, philosophies or ideas on the child is a real teacher. Our present educational system is focusing on teaching rather than creating. The focus needs to be shifted from teaching to learning, from teacher to child, from reproducing to creating. We are preparing a work force which can react, to some measure, to the external situations but is totally unaware of its inner self, its potential, the miracle it carries in itself. We have to shift our focus from the standardized model of education where certain values and concepts are taken for granted and we blindly keep on following and transferring them through generations. We the teachers, as a part of this standardized system, give very little opportunities to our students to imagine. Education has to be more Personal. We cannot follow the age old system because they were the best but we have to change and let our students choose what is the best and what will be the best for them. The present paper focuses on the loop holes of present system of education that blocks and systematically destroys the creative capacity of children and an attempt has also been made in the paper to present some ideas which can be implied to help foster creativity. Key words:Learning Environment, Standardized System, Creative Capacity Policy
