Creativity is vital to national economic and technological sustainability. Hence, continued efforts should be made to foster creativity among students of institutions of Higher Learning as emphasized by Malaysian Education Blueprint. A successful fostering of creativity among students of higher institutions of learning can however be achieved when the problem of incorporating creativity into the school curriculum is first looked into and thereafter, the relevant application of creativity is taken into consideration by the management and other stakeholders. This paper therefore focuses on the need for creativity in the Higher Institutions of Learning in Malaysia, problems of incorporating creativity into the school curriculum and how to apply creativity in the institutions.
