More quotes by 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
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
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
It's often the case that successful people invite criticism.
Michael Gove
One of reasons I was able to go to university was because of the sacrifices my family made.
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 know what it's like to see someone lose their job as a result of the European Union. I saw my father lose his job, I saw his business go to the wall, I saw 24 people who he employed also lose their jobs.
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 single most important thing in a child's performance is the quality of the teacher. Making sure a child spends the maximum amount of time with inspirational teachers is the most important thing.
Michael Gove
It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning.
Michael Gove
It is a belief in human potential that has guided me through my time in Government.
Michael Gove
Ever since going up to university, I have accumulated new debt, and new means of becoming indebted.
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
You come home to find your 17-year-old daughter engrossed in a book. Which would delight you more - if it were 'Twilight' or 'Middlemarch?'
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
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
Government has got to invest more money in our NHS. The people who work in it are heroic. They do an amazing job.
Michael Gove
When I talk to teachers they tell me the things they'd most like from any government are a reduction in bureaucracy, support to help ensure good discipline and a reformed Ofsted.
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
Now that Britain has voted to leave, I think the country deserves to have a leader who believes in Britain outside the European Union and who also has experience at the highest level of government.
