Gavin Williamson, the education secretary, has revealed that the pressures of his job extended to the bedroom, when he answered questions during the Association of School and College Leaders virtual annual conference this morning.
“My wife is a teaching assistant and it’s always interesting, because I obviously get quite a bit of lobbying, our pillow talk is maybe a little bit different, she is always highlighting various issues where maybe the Department for Education hasn’t always got it perfect all the time,” Williamson said. “It’s always good to hear it from the frontline,” he added.
“At every stage, I hear it from my wife, who is a teaching assistant, my brother, who is a teacher, about actually how schools have been so incredibly adaptable as well.”
