Grammar-school supporting ex-teacher named DfE minister
Former teacher Jonathan Gullis has been made a minister at the Department for Education (DfE).
Earlier this year, Gullis launched a campaign to open grammar schools in poorer areas.
He believes that removing a ban on creating new grammar schools would help end geographic education inequality.
He points out that grammars in the North East and almost half of the 163 in the UK are in London and the South East.
Gullis said at the time: "We can level up the country by offering students in the most deprived constituencies the same choice in education as the least deprived."
"Education is currently the very definition of a postcode lottery. Protecting existing grammar schools without creating new ones is reinforcing this.
"We cannot and must not continue with this geographic sweepstake approach to education. Pupils should be able to stay local and to go far, to coin a phrase."
