Bear Grylls: We fail young people if all we do is focus on academics and natural talentGlobal survival expert and adventurer, Bear Grylls, has told CNBC that role models including his own father taught him that there was more to life than just top grades.
Grylls, speaking ahead of the International Day of Education on Jan. 24, said that he wasn't a straight-A student during his time at school in England, explaining that he didn't always return home with brilliant school reports."I was never at the top of anything whether its sports or academics, when I came back those things weren't important to him [my father]," he said.
Speaking more broadly on education today, he said that governments around the world needed to realize there is a gap for personal development at school, adding that "we fail young people" if we only focus on academics and natural talent. "But if there's not room in an academic program, there's not time in the timetables, you know, kids get underserved. So, I think at the government level, its support us, see the power of BecomingX, but also make room for it and make sure that any schools who can't afford it, can afford it," he added.
