Nadhim Zahawi MP has been appointed as the new Secretary of State for Education
On Wednesday 15 September, the Prime Minister confirmed that Nadhim Zahawi MP has been appointed as the new Secretary of State for Education.
The Secretary of State for Education said:
“Education is a crucial part of our levelling up agenda so it’s an honour to be back at the Department for Education as Secretary of State.
Children and young people have had a tough time during this pandemic, and I’ll be listening to them and their families as we accelerate our work to build back better and fairer.
From my own experience, I know what a beacon of opportunity this country can be, and I want all children, young people and adults to have access to a brilliant education, the right qualifications and opportunities to secure good jobs. That’s both vital for them, and also our economy and is more important now than ever before.
I can’t wait to get started, working with the amazing teachers and staff in our nurseries, schools, colleges and universities as well as employers and businesses.”
