I would make sure that young people are taught about finances while they are at school. When they leave school or college they will get a job and need to manage their money, pay bills and be self-sufficient, but no one actually tells young people how to do this.

My principle is simple: small classes at small primary schools and big secondary schools.

IT in schools

If I were in charge of IT in schools I would ensure much more importance was placed on it as a subject, as I believe it is as much a part of the curriculum as maths, English or science.

I would lessen the pressure schools and colleges put on students in making career choices and instead help students find their passions and pursue them. Young people are under so much pressure to make the right decisions that they often forget about, or put aside their true passions.

If I were in charge of school sports I would make sure more was done to include all children and young people with or without a disability by adding accessible sports such as boccia and new age kurling to the curriculum.

I would swap the roles of teacher and student. Pupils could see and understand how much pressure and stress teachers are under and it would also remind teachers how stressful and hard it is to be a student.

The first thing I'd do would be to change the interior system of the UN. I'd no longer allow the permanent security council members - Russia, China, US, UK and France - to always have a veto power.

If I were in charge of the world, I would give all the homeless people a place to live, because at the moment there are many houses and flats being built.

Homework is basically extra work that teachers set to "help" children learn but to children it is torture. Children believe that homework is irrelevant because the work we do at home we cover at school anyway. When it comes to homework, children and adults clash.
