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.

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.

It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning.

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.

It was a tough choice [of PM]. I voted for a Scotsman.
Michael Gove
Image
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.

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

A coalition with Tories and Liberal Democrats together is a golden opportunity to create the sort of planning reform that means not only can we have more environmentally sensitive planning, but we can have more homes and more schools.
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
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
In this fallen world, I suspect we will never achieve perfection. But that won't stop me trying.
Michael Gove
Image
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.

The British prime minister will want to have a strong and positive relationship with European leaders always.
