Every individual is unique, having different potential, and it is the responsibility of education to promote, protect, and preserve an individual's unique potential and identity. Unhealthy competition and unnecessary emphasis on scores in exams are killing students' creativity and are giving birth to a banking system of education that has undetectable brain damage. This banking system of education produces such young minds that they cannot think freely; they think in a trained way, having zero creativity. One of the principles on which NEP (2020) is based is creativity and critical thinking, and it aims to produce engaged, productive, and contributing citizens. So, this paper raises four research questions: First, why is the present system of Indian school education a banking system of education? Second, how is the banking system of education affecting creativity? Third, how is creativity related to undetectable brain damage, fourth, what are the necessary steps we immediately need to take to promote creativity and prevent undetectable brain damage? The researcher has gone through various resources to answer all these questions. These questions on education are need of an hour, as schools prepare the next generation.
