Edge encourages others to reflect on our education system, what we value, and what we want to change. We asked key figures from the education world and beyond what their #EducationWish would be for the future.

We took the time to think about some of our top wishes too:
- That all young people in school can access a broad and balanced curriculum, including technical and creative education, taught through the lens of the real world. Find out how this could work here.
- That Colleges should be properly funded to recruit industry-leading staff, who can share their skills whilst also remaining connected to the world of work. Read more about this here.
- That Apprenticeships should be refocused principally on 16-24 year olds and broadened to provide a range of transferable skills. Read more about this here.
- That Higher Education should be much more closely connected to work through real world projects and placements. Find out how this could work here.
