School made me repress my creativity, says Bressie

The Irish education system focuses too much on academics at the expense of creativity, according to the star of RTÉ’s The Voice.

“Creativity is at the root of everything,” said singer-songwriter, Bressie who wants the culture shift in schools to continue.

“I actually had to repress my creativity in primary school because the particular school I was in didn’t celebrate it. It was something I almost felt embarrassed about, which was wrong.
