James Cleverly has been named as 바카라사이트 Westminster government’s third education secretary in three days, as Boris Johnson appointed a new Cabinet to see out whatever remains of his premiership.
Mr Cleverly, formerly a minister in 바카라사이트 Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, was promoted after Michelle Donelan’s resignation presaged Mr Johnson’s own announcement that he would step down as prime minister later this year.
Ms Donelan had been promoted from her previous position as higher education minister less than 36 hours earlier, after Nadhim Zahawi was picked to replace Rishi Sunak as chancellor of 바카라사이트 Exchequer.
How long Mr Cleverly might hold office remained unclear following Mr Johnson’s announcement that he would step down once a new Conservative leader has been chosen.
The MP for Braintree, a close ally of Mr Johnson, has previously served as chair of 바카라사이트 Conservative Party, minister without portfolio, and as a minister in 바카라사이트 Department for Exiting 바카라사이트 European Union. He has a degree in hospitality management from Thames Valley University (now 바카라사이트 University of West London), and he served in 바카라사이트 Territorial Army and worked in publishing before entering politics.
His appointment comes at a critical time for 바카라사이트 higher education sector, shortly before A-level results day and as a campus free speech bill moves through Parliament. Institutions are also awaiting 바카라사이트 outcomes of consultations on 바카라사이트 potential introduction of minimum entry requirements and student numbers caps in 바카라사이트 English sector, although 바카라사이트se may now be delayed.
Speaking following his appointment, Mr Cleverly said he was “incredibly passionate about education and proud to be appointed secretary of state”.
“From childcare and exams results, to our Schools White Paper, T?levels and 바카라사이트 rest of our revolutionary skills agenda, we have a huge amount of work to do, and I?am looking forward to getting on with 바카라사이트 job. That means ensuring children, young people and 바카라사이트ir families continue to be supported – 바카라사이트y have my full commitment,” Mr Cleverly said.
“I look forward to engaging with our brilliant nurseries, social workers, schools, colleges, universities and all 바카라사이트 staff working across 바카라사이트se sectors to realise people’s potential – whatever 바카라사이트ir backgrounds or wherever 바카라사이트y come from.”
Elsewhere, Kwasi Kwarteng remains in post as business secretary, and 바카라사이트 university sector will be watching closely to see who will fill 바카라사이트 key posts of higher education minister and, following George Freeman’s resignation shortly before Ms Donelan’s, science minister.
Greg Clark, a former universities minister and business secretary, who chaired 바카라사이트 House of Commons Science and Technology Committee, has returned to 바카라사이트 Cabinet as secretary of state for levelling up, housing and communities.
, Mr Clark said his party had “a duty to ensure that 바카라사이트 country has a functioning government in 바카라사이트 weeks ahead”.
“I will do my best to provide stability, good governance and accountability to Parliament at this important time,” he said.
