Abstract
Inspiration has been rarely studied in education and pedagogical literature. In
fact it is even very hard to find good reference papers about measuring stu-
dents’ inspiration. Student inspiration has nearly been totally away from
schools expected outcome. Inspiration is not yet a measure for the return of
investment on education. Along the educational journey, in many schools that
are considered to be competitive; students have never been challenged to ex-
plore their sources of inspiration. In this study we investigate the data for
more than 17,000 high school students, after setting the basic criteria’s for
students’ inspiration. The paper addresses what are the situations, the condi-
tions and practices that help in creating waves of inspiration to cover more
students. The study concludes with a proposed learning framework and a
recommendation for future researches to come. The limitation of the paper
mainly is that it was conducted only in one country.

1. Introduction
There are numerous possible causes of inspiration and especially in youth and
undergraduate students. One of the main causes that are repeatedly discussed
and indirectly seen in literature could be the lack of students’ engagement with
real life situations [1].
Psychological experiences play also an important role in creating a genera-
tional effect where students are turned to be youth with life-purpose-full, even
before attending university or joining the labour market. Jere Brophy [2] cites
