More quotes by Michael Gove
Children themselves know they are being cheated. Ultimately we owe it to our children. They are in school for 190 days a year. Every moment they spend learning is precious. If a year goes by and they are not being stretched and excited, that blights their life.
Michael Gove
One of the problems we've had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time. I think that what we should have is computer science in the future - and how it fits in to the curriculum is something we need to be talking to scientists, to experts in coding and to young people about.
Michael Gove
The British people rejected politics as usual and government as usual. They want and need a new approach to running this country.
Michael Gove
The big shift in approach on education that we are taking - which is different from what happened before - is that we trust teachers and we trust heads.
Michael Gove
I'll negotiate with toughness, and with great attention to detail to get the best possible deal for Britain. It's only when we are outside the European Union that we can at last bring those numbers [of migrants] under control in the way that the public want.
Michael Gove
I think it's appropriate that we simplify, clarify and strengthen, so instead of this nebulousness, we have clarity and authority invested in teachers once more.
Michael Gove
Teachers themselves know if there's a colleague who can't keep control or keep the interest of their class, it affects the whole school.
Michael Gove
The reason I entered politics was a belief that the people of this country - having achieved so much that was good and noble in our past - had the potential to do amazing things in the future.
Michael Gove
I remember my mum explaining to me what adoption meant when I was still at primary school. 'Son,' she said to me, 'you didn't grow under my heart, you grew in it'.
Michael Gove
In this fallen world, I suspect we will never achieve perfection. But that won't stop me trying.
Michael Gove
Our most important public service will always be the NHS. And I want to say something clear and unambiguous about the future of the health service.
Michael Gove
I will do everything that is required in order to bring immigration down to a level that is manageable, that the public believe is right.
Michael Gove
The promise to leave the European Union, end the supremacy of EU law and take back control of our democracy. With my leadership, it will be delivered.
Michael Gove
The challenges facing Britain required not just a cool head, but a heart burning with the desire for change - not business as usual but a bold vision.
Michael Gove
It was a tough choice [of PM]. I voted for a Scotsman.
Michael Gove
It is a belief in human potential that has guided me through my time in Government.
Michael Gove
In order to be able to reduce migration we need to be outside the European Union.
Michael Gove
I love my parents in the way most children would: for having been there at every point in my youth and childhood, ready to pick me up when I fell and support me when I stumbled.
Michael Gove
As long as there are people in education making excuses for failure, cursing future generations with a culture of low expectations, denying children access to the best that has been thought and written, because Nemo and the Mister Men are more relevant, the battle needs to be joined.
Michael Gove
I'm a decentralizer. I believe in trusting professionals.
