Conservative Party Conference: Michael Gove speech

Conservative Party Conference: Michael Gove speech; ENGLAND: Midlands: Birmingham: INT Michael Gove MP (Education Secretary) along to podium and speech SOT - Good morning again, politicians talk about education, education, education but with a great head like Geoff Canada, what you get is inspiration, inspiration, inspiration. There is a special beauty in a life well-lived. And listening to Geoffrey Canada you realise that no life can be better spent than in teaching. Teachers transform lives as very few others can. They are there at the moments in all our childhoods when new horizons beckon. The moment mere shapes on a page suddenly become living words, with a gripping story to tell. The moment a child who has struggled to make sense of a jumble of figures suddenly grasps the mystery, and beauty, of maths. The moment a pupil who says she's never seen the point of books, or, for that matter, school, sits enraptured by a performance of Hamlet. These moments are the gifts that teachers give and I believe no gifts are more precious. So, let everyone watching this conference know, we honour the work our teachers do, we salute the sacrifices they make, we applaud their commitment to our children. Under David Cameron's leadership the Conservative party is now the party of the teacher, the party of higher standards, the party that is driving the reforms which will make our education system a world-beater once again.
