What was the old paradigm? What is the new paradigm proposed by the author?

Through the whole lecture, Sir Ken Robinson explains the idea of what is wrong with education nowadays. The old paradigm (the current paradigm) is the one where everything is evaluated with standardized tests. Where the whole system has a industrialized mentality treating students like they are workers in a factory.
But he proposes something new, a new paradigm.  We need to go in the exact opposite direction, promoting and protecting divergent thinking, making students see that there isn’t just one answer to a question.
It could be perceived as the evolution that is needed in the educational system,  going from a total structure to an entirely reformed sense of education.
