I'd repair our education system or replace it with something that works.

In regard to education something has been done by the Provincial Legislature but to build churches and to place clergymen is a work of greater difficulty.

If there is something I would like to do as President of the General Assembly it is to place more emphasis on the issue of education which enables a better life for women.

Community colleges are one of America's great social inventions a gateway to the future for first time students looking for an affordable college education and for mid-career students looking to get ahead in the workplace.

My father was an autodidact. It wasn't a middle-class house. Shopkeepers are aspirant. He paid for me to go to private school. He was denied an education - he had a horrible childhood. He got a place at a grammar school and wasn't allowed to go.

Further Education should be about the ability to learn not the ability to pay - everyone who is able should have the opportunity regardless of their family background. I don't want to see students struggling with huge debts or frightened off even going to university in the first place.

In the 1960s we were fighting to be recognized as equals in the marketplace in marriage in education and on the playing field. It was a very exciting rebellious time.
