THE MOST VALUABLE THING EDUCATION SHOULD NEVER LOSE | NGUYEN THUC QUYEN | TEDxMoc Chau

As answers become easier to find, are we forgetting how to ask meaningful questions? Drawing from her experience as a student who once hesitated to raise her hand for fear of asking a “simple” question, Nguyễn Thục Quyên explores how curiosity can gradually be replaced by the fear of being wrong and the pressure to have the right answer. In a world where Google and AI can provide information within seconds, Quyên asks a bigger question about education: should our greatest priority be protecting not only knowledge, but also our curiosity to question, explore, and understand the world? From a child’s endless “Why?” questions to deeper questions about how we learn and grow, Nguyễn Thục Quyên has always believed that curiosity is one of the most powerful forces behind learning. As a student, she is particularly interested in education, technology, and the ways a changing world is reshaping the learning experience for young people. Quyên believes that education should not only help us find answers, but also protect the curiosity that leads us to ask better questions.
