More quotes by Michael Gove
It's often the case that successful people invite criticism.
Michael Gove
I will put my heart and soul into making sure that the care your son or daughter or mum or dad receives is the same I would want for my own family.
Michael Gove
It's critical that children spend time before they arrive in school in a warm, attractive and inclusive environment, where they can learn through play, master social skills and prepare for formal schooling.
Michael Gove
If we are to make the most of the opportunities ahead we need a bold break with the past.
Michael Gove
We need a national ambition to build hundreds of thousands of new homes a year, both private and socially-rented - led by someone who will not take no for an answer and who will push for diggers in the ground and homes for all come what may.
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
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 have a different starting premise from those 100 academics who are so heavily invested in the regime of low expectations and narrow horizons which they have created.
Michael Gove
Let me first of all congratulate both of the candidates who have made it through - both Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom are formidable politicians and they have fought great campaigns and they deserve to be in the final two.
Michael Gove
I will ensure we honour the instructions the British people have given us. I argued for specific changes in the referendum campaign, I believe in them, I will deliver them.
Michael Gove
Whoever the next prime minister of this country will be, it will be a female prime minister and a female prime minister who has formidable skills and I know whichever one of the two wins they will lead this country well.
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
It is a belief in human potential that has guided me through my time in Government.
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
There are huge challenges ahead for this country but also huge opportunities. We can make this country stronger and fairer.
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
One of reasons I was able to go to university was because of the sacrifices my family made.
Michael Gove
If we leave the European Union, yes there will be bumps in the road, inevitably, but we will be in a better position to deal with them.
Michael Gove
Ever since going up to university, I have accumulated new debt, and new means of becoming indebted.
Michael Gove
I'm a decentralizer. I believe in trusting professionals.
