Early Life and Education
Early childhood education is one of the most crucial investments a country can make to promote holistic development and social cohesion. It provides children with an important emotional foundation from which they can build essential life skills such as self-assurance, positive self-belief, and self-expression.

He believed that small class sizes and plenty of teacher interaction time help children develop these essential abilities.
His writing was profoundly affected by his upbringing in a mixed family where his parents were Catholic and his father Protestant. This formed the basis of his political views, leading him to pen his most acclaimed work: Reflections on the Revolution in France.
