And in addition to overhauling exams, I'd also like to see every school in England with a fully qualified counsellor on the staff, whose responsibility it is to work with the pupils and staff who suffer from mental health and wellbeing issues.
Quote by -Layla Moran
The primary aim of our schools should be to help children grow into happy, healthy and confident adults, equipped with the skills to achieve their goals in life and work.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Of course, the damaging pressure of competition and high-stakes testing isn't limited to the impact on children themselves. It filters down to pupils because of the pressure on school leadership and teachers in turn, to perform well in Ofsted inspections and league tables.
Quote by -Layla Moran
To me it is just common sense that we should be making apprenticeships readily available to every young person who wants to go down that route - and encouraging people to consider taking this path just as readily as we would encourage someone to look into a university degree.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Apprenticeships, when they are delivered well, have the potential to offer massive benefits to our employers and our economy as a whole by upskilling our workforce, and offer a vital alternative to those who feel that a more academic route is not the right one for them.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Our tired, old politics is tearing at the seams. The Lib Dems have returned to their local roots, just as a more pluralist politics is desperately needed.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Studying abroad should not be something that only the wealthy can afford. Every student deserves the opportunity to experience other cultures, make new friendships, share ideas and widen their horizons.
Quote by -Layla Moran
The benefits of studying abroad are huge. You can pick up a new language, develop a love for another culture, and pick up new skills, hobbies and work experience to boost your CV.
Quote by -Layla Moran
The future of British politics is not the pale, male and stale stereotype of tradition. Things are changing for the better.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Liberal Democrats have been leading the fight for a People's Vote and we're getting closer to that with each day.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Luckily for me, my views align with those of my constituents and party; the Liberal Democrats are unabashedly pro-European and are unapologetically up-front about our pursuit of a democratic way to stay in the EU.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Brexit is the most complex and difficult political decision our country has had to take in mine and many other lifetimes.
Quote by -Layla Moran
We boast of being one of the oldest democracies in existence and it is a point of pride for many of us that British society represents a beacon of hope for repressed peoples living in authoritarian states around the world.
Quote by -Layla Moran
The more I hear about Eddie Izzard's political agenda, the more sympathetic I feel. I cheer him on in his cause, but I fear he faces an uphill battle.
Quote by -Layla Moran
A no deal Brexit could bring Britain to a grinding halt and threaten the wellbeing of our country.
Quote by -Layla Moran
The important point is Brexiteers said that this would be easy, that we could leave and enter a post-Brexit nirvana, a land of milk and honey that will satisfy their ideological dogma and make the people happy. Sadly, this deluded dream has run out of steam.
Quote by -Layla Moran
My subjects were maths and physics. I truly appreciate the value in sciences, but understand the difficulty finding and retaining teachers for these subjects, especially when most of my Imperial cohort ended up as management consultants or in finance.
Quote by -Layla Moran
I miss the classroom and the bit I miss the most is the one-on-one personal interactions with the students, those moments when they surprise you with their insightfulness, or their cheekiness.
Quote by -Layla Moran
As a former teacher, it pains me to watch such an essential and rewarding profession suffer due to government neglect.
Quote by -Layla Moran
For all the farcical invoking of Blitz spirit, Brexit isn't merely an absurdist experiment in English nationalist nostalgia - it is the most audacious example yet of a futuristic Russian nationalism that seeks to divide and rule Europe.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Food banks have told us of the increasing donations of, and demand for, tampons and pads which are gratefully received by women struggling to afford them.
Quote by -Layla Moran
It is vital that MPs take the issue of climate change seriously and support the students in their activism. They can rest assured that I certainly do.
Quote by -Layla Moran
As a former teacher, I know how frustrating it must be to watch students walk out of class, particularly if they have important exams on the horizon.
Quote by -Layla Moran
We need a government that takes climate change seriously, one that doesn't shunt it to the side-lines.
Quote by -Layla Moran
I believe that Theresa May is going to end up with a botched Brexit that will satisfy no one and make sure that calls for a people's vote on the final Brexit deal will only get louder.
Quote by -Layla Moran
More and more people - Leavers and Remainers - from every region, every political party and every walk of life, are demanding a vote on the final Brexit deal before we leave the EU.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Any one of us could fall on hard times. Work and housing have the potential to be unstable, especially for those earning low wages or relying on family and friends. It should not be a criminal offence to sleep on the street.
Quote by -Layla Moran
The Conservative government's neglect of social housing is all too apparent and should be a source of national shame.
Quote by -Layla Moran
For far too many, the housing crisis has become a human crisis, with people being criminalised who should instead be protected as our most vulnerable citizens.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Palestinians also have a right not to have their homes demolished because an occupying power refuses to grant them a permit. Palestinian children should not be shot at or arrested in the middle of the night and interrogated by the Israeli military while terrified and isolated.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Genuine supporters of Palestinians' rights are fighting for equality, justice and freedom, aims that are in diametric opposition to any form of antisemitism.
Quote by -Layla Moran
The word 'Zionist' has become toxic. To some it means believing in Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. To others it represents a movement that led to the expulsion and marginalisation of the Palestinian people in their own land.
Quote by -Layla Moran
I will always believe that my vote, and the votes of my Lib Dem colleagues, are the best thing I can do to save this country from a no-deal Brexit and save it from Boris Johnson.
Quote by -Layla Moran
What provides me with the strength and conviction to walk proudly among protesters so angry about the policies I endorse is the support I absorb when I am in my own constituency. Whenever I am at home, I am met with smiling faces, and words of thanks, even hugs.
Quote by -Layla Moran
MPs put ourselves at the behest of the British people, certainly, but we are not infallible or devoid of sensitivity.
Quote by -Layla Moran
Losing weight, even with the help of the operation I had, remains the hardest thing I have ever done - and the thing I am most proud of.
Quote by -Layla Moran
I joined a gym when I was 11, agreed to seeing a dietitian aged 15, and I remember being a teenager and going to shops, only to find that as a size 16, the clothes were hidden at the back or on different floors well away from the shop windows.
Quote by -Layla Moran
I am naturally centre-left so the areas of education there are things on which I could work quite closely with Labour on... For example, on trying in Parliament to abolish SATs, I would be the first one through the gates.
Quote by -Layla Moran
There are lots of great educationalists out there who really care about social mobility.
Quote by -Layla Moran
When I finished my degree I became a physics and maths teacher. And worked in the international school in Brussels, because like many kids, after University I went home going 'ahhh I don't know what to do'. I happened to fall upon a job there because they were desperate for a physics teacher which is a common theme among many schools.
Quote by -Layla Moran
I have been inspired by the way that Ken Clarke has navigated parliament. I am actively looking across the House for people I really respect and warm to and can learn things from.
Quote by -Layla Moran
I was really super into science an not at all in to politics. I think it was a reaction against the fact my dad was a diplomat. I wanted to do something that was totally different. I fell in love with science.
