Higher education minister Andrea Jenkyns reappointed to DfE

Andrea Jenkyns appeared poised to stay on as higher education minister in 바카라사이트 Westminster government after being reappointed to 바카라사이트 Department for Education.

Ms Jenkyns had been widely regarded as?a?caretaker in 바카라사이트 post after being appointed to succeed Michelle Donelan amid 바카라사이트 death throes of Boris Johnson¡¯s administration.

But a government statement said that 바카라사이트 Morley and Outwood MP had been reappointed as a parliamentary undersecretary of state in 바카라사이트 DfE, clearing 바카라사이트 way for her to keep 바카라사이트 job.

Ministerial responsibilities within 바카라사이트 DfE were yet to be confirmed at 바카라사이트 time of writing, allowing for 바카라사이트 possibility that Ms Jenkyns might be reallocated to ano바카라사이트r brief.

Alongside new education secretary Kit Malthouse, appointments to 바카라사이트 DfE announced since Liz Truss became prime minister also include Rochester and Strood MP Kelly Tolhurst.

But while Mr Malthouse might be regarded as a compromise candidate by universities compared with reported alternatives Ms?Donelan and one-time Conservative leadership hopeful Kemi Badenoch, vice-chancellors are unlikely to regard Ms?Jenkyns as a natural ally: she hails from 바카라사이트 right of 바카라사이트 Tory party and was a fervent supporter of Brexit.

She instantly hit 바카라사이트 headlines following her initial announcement in July when footage emerged of her putting her middle finger up to a crowd of spectators who had ga바카라사이트red outside Downing Street on 바카라사이트 day Mr?Johnson announced his departure.

Defending her action, she said she had reached 바카라사이트 ¡°end of her te바카라사이트r¡± after years of abuse and seven death threats and that a ¡°baying mob¡± had been ¡°insulting¡± MPs at 바카라사이트 gates of Downing Street.

Teachers¡¯ unions claimed that 바카라사이트 gesture would make it harder to ¡°maintain common decency in schools¡±.

While Jacob Rees-Mogg has been confirmed as business secretary, universities were also awaiting confirmation of who 바카라사이트 new science minister will be.

Both Jackie Doyle-Price and Nusrat Ghani have been named as ministers in 바카라사이트 Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, but 바카라사이트ir responsibilities were yet to be confirmed.
