This poem was written by Lemn Sissay OBE to mark the 20th Anniversary of the Edge Foundation.

Edge is an independent, politically impartial education foundation. Edge's work is driven by their belief that education should be relevant to the twenty-first century. They gather evidence through research and real world projects and partnerships and use this to lead the debate and influence policy and practice.

Edge believes all young people need to be equipped with the skills that today’s global, digital economy demands, through a broad and balanced curriculum, high quality training, engaging real world learning and rich relationships between education and employers.
