There are three major social issues that this country is struggling with: education poverty and drugs. Two of them we talk about and one of them we don't.
Of all the public services education is the one I'm most interested in. You get a more dynamic economy you deal with most social problems and it's morally right.
The Tories and the Lib Dems talk about social mobility but short of winning the lottery the only way to guarantee young people from all backgrounds the opportunity to do better and to raise aspirations is through education.
I feel a social responsibility. We need to open people's eyes. There is a lack of education in Ethiopia.
My grandmother lived to be 100 years old. Her grandmother was a slave yet she was a college graduate in the Spellman class of 1917. She taught art for 50 years and she saved her Social Security checks for her children's education.
My hope was that organizations would start including this range of skills in their training programs - in other words offer an adult education in social and emotional intelligence.
Without in any way minimising the economic and psychological blow that people experience when they lose their jobs the unemployed in affluent countries still have a safety net in the form of social security payments and usually free healthcare and free education for their children.
