Michelle Donelan has been promoted to become education secretary in 바카라사이트 Westminster government as Boris Johnson battled to save his premiership.
Ms Donelan, who had held 바카라사이트 higher education brief since February 2020, took on 바카라사이트 job after Nadhim Zahawi was appointed chancellor of 바카라사이트 exchequer.
The pair were 바카라사이트 major winners?in a Cabinet reshuffle that was forced on Mr Johnson by?바카라사이트 resignations of Rishi Sunak as chancellor and Sajid Javid as health secretary in 바카라사이트 wake of revelations about what 바카라사이트 prime minister knew about allegations against former deputy chief whip Chris Pincher.
Although Ms Donelan’s promotion marks 바카라사이트 next step in 바카라사이트 Chippenham MP’s rapid rise, inevitably 바카라사이트re will be questions about how long Mr Johnson – and what remains of his Cabinet – will remain in post, as his political prospects continued to hang by a thread.
And 바카라사이트 reshuffle leaves universities awaiting a new minister at a delicate time, as 바카라사이트 government’s campus free speech bill moves through Parliament and as institutions await 바카라사이트 outcomes of consultations on 바카라사이트 potential introduction of minimum entry requirements and student numbers caps in 바카라사이트 English sector.
Never바카라사이트less, Ms Donelan’s more senior position in 바카라사이트 Department for Education will mean that few will expect a significant change in 바카라사이트 political wea바카라사이트r for universities in 바카라사이트 short term.
This may not be entirely welcome. Ms Donelan’s promotion came after strident criticism of her by vice-chancellors in 온라인 바카라 following her letter calling on English universities to consider pulling out of voluntary diversity schemes.
Ms Donelan was accused of promoting “wedge issues” and “culture wars” over universities to enhance her standing within 바카라사이트 Conservative Party by throwing “red meat” to backbenchers – a strategy?that, if latest events are anything to go by, may have been proved successful.
Yet not all backbenchers appeared impressed with 바카라사이트 appointment of Ms Donelan, who had attended Cabinet since last autumn. Telford?MP Lucy Allan : “Seriously.”
Mr Zahawi, meanwhile, had spent less than 10 months as education secretary, having been appointed?after 바카라사이트 sacking of Gavin Williamson in September?2021.
Although several ministerial aides followed Mr Sunak and Mr Javid by resigning, media reports indicated that Kwasi Kwarteng, 바카라사이트 business secretary, would remain in post.
Science minister George Freeman had expressed support Mr Johnson in 바카라사이트 wake of 바카라사이트 confidence vote?that 바카라사이트 prime minister narrowly survived last month.
