A good education is vital for a better future and Michelle Donelan is backing local schools and local teachers to ensure that pupils get the best possible local education.
The Conservatives' long-term economic plan is delivering better schools by:
* Restoring rigour to the curriculum
* Toughening up exams
* Creating more good local schools, with 800,000 more children in good or outstanding schools than in 2010
The Conservatives are working to overhaul a small but stubborn minority of failing schools, giving powers to school commissioners who already oversee successful schools. They will have the power to remove failing head teachers, pair up failing schools with good ones, and change the curriculum if it isn't up to scratch.
These changes will help transform failing schools and give parents peace of mind that their child will receive a better education, reach their potential and get on in life.
"We have some fantastic local schools," said Michelle. "I want to help reduce teachers' workloads to allow them more time to spend in the classroom helping pupils learn."
