Education doesn't need to be reformed- it needs to be transformed.

Governments decide they know best and they're going to tell you what to do. The trouble is that education doesn't go on in the committee rooms of our legislative buildings. It happens in classrooms and schools, and the people who do it are the teachers and the students. And if you remove their discretion, it stops working.

Imagination is the primary gift of human consciousness.

I mean, really, whatever you woke up worrying about this morning, get over it. How important in the greater scheme of things can it possibly be? Make your peace and move on.

The arts, sciences, humanities, physical education, languages and maths all have equal and central contributions to make to a student's education.

These powers of imagination and creativity are among the few things that set us apart from the rest of life on Earth. But they make all the difference.

Creativity is as important as literacy.
