         Everything is changing rapidly due to the advances in sciences and technology. Education must not be an exception. Unfortunately, public schools look lagging behind. The reason is obvious. Education couldn't free itself from the monotonous methods it is used to. Now it's high time it started to cope with the rapidly changing world of science and technology. Well what we mean by coping with the change is simple. Education should stop providing knowledge which make learners passive and negative. It also should start encouraging creative thinking habits by focusing on the tools making the students capable of searching for the adequate knowledge, finding it, understanding it, evaluating it, criticizing it before eventually using it.

         In this sense, The students will quickly learn to start thinking out of the box; which is approaching problems in new, innovative ways looking further and beyond what ordinary people normally do. Although the term has become a cliché in the field of business, it is still recommended that the students, especially, have to train a lot to master it because, in this rapidly changing world, they have become global citizens; therefore their scopes have to widen to meet the requirements of the harsh competitive era.

         This presentation tends to make the students familiar with the catchphrase and know about its mechanics, requirements and purposes.
