He first joined department as teacher in 1987
The Department of Education, Sport and Culture has appointed a new chief executive officer.
Graham Kinrade will take on the role permanently, having been interim CEO since last September.
He was first given the position in the wake of the Beaman's review, and tasked with addressing the 'fractured' relationship between schools and the department.
Mr Kinrade, who joined DESC as a teacher in 1987, says he's looking forward to 'continuing to work to reset relationships and culture'.
