Education, education, education Isn't that what Blair did say? Its basic, its simple, Change can only happen this way.
Does it come from the top, And work its way down? Or does change start with our children, As soon as their feet touch the ground?
Education it's so vital, It should be a given right; We work hard, pay our taxes, But still its not right.
Education is the key, I truly believe to it all; Fighting prejudice, ignorance, Humanities fall.
But... Mr Gove, You have a different idea; Cutting all our funding, Your mission is quite clear.
Grammar and testing, Is not what we need; Building foundations is, Sowing the creative seed.
Our rooms aren't fit for purpose, Since you scrapped the BSF * programme; You slashed capital funding, But threw in another primary exam.
What is to become of our Olympic Legacy, And gold winning pride? When you scrapped funding sports, Despite protests nationwide.
Teachers teach in units, That are cold and damp; No longer is their 'green' funding, For renewables or to revamp.
Then there's Academies And those 'Free' schools Don't get me started on those That break every socialist rule.
Statistics, results And league tables too; Who do these benefit? Parents or is it just you?
And what about your curriculum, Do you think we need Latin? What about funding for the future? IT... I forgot you scrapped them!
The world in which we live , Is changing at an incredible rate; Children need an excellent education, Not what you dictate.
To change the world in which we live, Education is the key; It's basic and its as simple as A....B.....C.
*BSF Building Schools for the Future
