Andy Powell

Campaigner for better education

The EdgeWebsite: http://www.edge.co.uk

Andy is absolutely determined to make learning a lot better. He’s the founder and chief executive of The Edge, an organisation which is all about making education more suited to the individual. So they’re big supporters of practical and on the job learning rather than memorising the periodic table when you want to look after owls for a living. Sounds mighty sensible to us.

He’s not afraid of campaigning on a massive scale. In fact, in his own words, he “relishes it”. For example, he’s started his own national day, VQ Day, to celebrate vocational qualifications. It was pretty massive: 1 in 10 people in the UK have heard of it, which is about 6 million people. Wow. He’s on board as a mentor to help our campaigners achieve that sort of fame.

THE I WANT TAG CLOUD

This is a tag cloud. It eats words, but only ones about how people want to change the world. You can click on a ‘want’ to agree or disagree. The more people agree with a want, the bigger it gets, until the tag cloud starts to wish it didn’t have eyes bigger than its stomach.
