Everyone deserves equal opportunities and a bright future. That means children need to learn good reading, writing and arithmetic skills. Together with the dedicated professionals in our education system I am working to give children and young people that solid foundation in a safe and supportive environment. Such an environment is crucial, both in and outside school. Because you can only get the best out of yourself if you can be yourself.
