Graham Kinrade takes on role for six months
The education minister has backed his new chief officer to drive a culture change within the department.
Graham Kinrade has been appointed to the role for six months, after his predecessor professor Ronald Barr left last week.
It's after an independent report criticised the department's failing relationship with schools, which it says resulted in the ongoing industrial dispute over pay.
Dr Allinson says it's not just his new chief officer who'll help drive the reforms required:
Businesses have until April to prepare for minimum wage increase
Infrastructure minister insists school buses will not be scrapped
Braddan Commissioners says social housing roof works doubled in costÂ
