teacher different bigs
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.
brain language cases
It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning.
country thinking optimism
I think that the message I have of optimism and hope about Britain's bright future outside the European Union is shared by many Conservative members and voters - indeed by a majority of the country.
school mean home
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.
expectations horizon different
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.
two campaigns may
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.
teacher government discipline
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.
keys mobility acquisition
The accumulation of cultural capital - the acquisition of knowledge - is the key to social mobility.
order unions migration
In order to be able to reduce migration we need to be outside the European Union.
bumps unions deals
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.
destiny thinking giving
I think that what we have heard from the Remain campaign throughout this whole referendum have been dire warnings of the terrible consequences of the British people just taking control of our own destiny.And, the truth is, if we vote to Leave we will be in an economically stronger position. We will be able to take back some of the money that we currently give to the European Union and we can invest it in our priorities.
numbers attention unions
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.
teacher school class
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.
father fishing unions
My father had a fishing business in Aberdeen destroyed by the European Union and the Common Fisheries Policy, the European Union.
