Gove is named Education Secretary

 

BBC news has reported that Michael Gove is the new Secretary of State for Education in Prime Minister David Cameron's coalition government.

Mr Gove is the Conservative MP for the constituency of Surrey Heath in south-east England. He won the seat at the 2005 General Election.

He was made Shadow Minister for Housing in December 2005, until he was promoted to Shadow Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families in June 2007.

He made his mark as Shadow Children, Schools and Families Secretary with his "free schools" policy, which will see parents and other groups able to set up their own schools.

Mr Gove believes the policy will raise standards and attainment.
