Education Minister Anne Craine has announced an important new role within her department.
Dr Ronald Barr is the Island's first Higher Education Coordinator, a position he will hold alongside his current role of Assistant Principal and Director of Higher Education at the Isle of Man College.
The appointment follows the recent publication by the department of its Policy for the Development of On-Island Higher Education Provision.
Mrs Craine (pictured) says Dr Barr will make a big impression during his three year term:

Fuel costs 'likely to rise' amid Middle East conflict
Ramsey Commissioners redacted information 'without justification' in FoI response
Death of MGP competitor deemed accidental by inquest
