Empowering the youth is our responsibility, and the youth will be empowered with more investment on them.

We must act in unison and rising above politics on the question of development of the country and empowerment of the youth to raise them as future leader in every field of our national life.

We cannot keep on carrying burdens of the past and keep ruining our future.

If we remain hostage to our past, then we will go nowhere.

I pledge to you today that as president, in my first budget, I will introduce the largest increase in special education ever.

The value of a good education has never left me.

Higher education should provide an environment to test new ideas, debate theories, encounter challenging information, and figure out what one believes.

I'm not arguing for a return to the grammar school system, but there must be a way of identifying bright kids from ordinary backgrounds and giving them a world-class education.
