It is difficult to think of anything more important than providing the best education possible for our children. They will develop the next technologies, medical cures, and global industries, while mitigating their unintended effects, or they will fail to do these things and consign us all to oblivion.

Education is our greatest opportunity to give an irrevocable gift to the next generation.

Next to excellence is the appreciation of it.

Like university science departments, the arts have shown how they can earn their way and point to an economically newborn future for this country. They show that the U.K. could be a prime provider of imaginative riches and intellectual adventure, which I think are the two great prizes of the 21st century.

A good education is the most important gift we can give our young people.

It's important that our children are raised to be educated, well-rounded tax-paying citizens that understand the importance of technology and science.

If we marry educational technology with quality, enriching content, that's a circle of win.

I would say that awards are for children. Because children need a tangible representation of their achievement. And as adults, you have to settle for the respect and admiration of your peers.

If we want our children to value education, then we must show our appreciation for knowledge.

The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.
