Quotes:
- "Vocational training was something that I felt that children, particularly in high school, would benefit the most from because when they left at the end of the twelveth grade they would go out with a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience and be able to demand a decent salary to start a good job and they don't owe any money."
- "There's no limit to what vocational training can teach you if the program is developed in that particular school or in these schools."
- "Education is never wasted."
