Resignation of Welsh Education Minister

Shocking news last night as Leighton Andrews resigned from his post as Welsh Education Minister. Mr Andrews stepped down from his position following criticism for backing a campaign to save a school in his constituency which faces closure as a result of his own department’s policy to tackle surplus school places. As the man responsible for GCSE’s and A’Levels here in Wales his resignation may be a trigger for the government to make changes to the exam system. Hopefully this won’t result in more upheaval for students and changes to the curriculum.
