As Education Secretary, I am fully focused on closing the gaps that appear, even in early childhood.
Reimagining childhood and rewiring the state so that outcomes for children drive what we do - that’s what this government is all about.

I have launched #TheBigFuture survey, for all children in England to tell me what it’s like to be a child today - changes they want to see in their communities, their biggest concerns & future hopes.

“I would like it to rain books!!! I love books” – boy, 8.
Children consistently tell me they want more free things to do in their local area, and libraries offer exactly that.
Read what children have been saying when responding to my #BigFuture survey.

Young people want great jobs and are ready to work - great to discuss what they are telling me with @AndrewMarr9 👇🏻
‘Kids have sent in 1,000 applications for Saturday jobs and all they get back are AI responses.’
Rachel De Souza, Children’s Commissioner, tells @AndrewMarr9 that young people ‘want a good job’ and do not ‘lack ambition’.
