Two more Education members offer to quit

EDUCATION minister Carol Steere has been joined by Matt Fallaize and Mike Collins in offering to resign from the department.

Deputy Steere announced in the States this morning that she wanted her resignation to be debated by the Assembly at the earliest opportunity – which is likely to be mid-October.

Just before the break for lunch, Deputies Fallaize and Mike Collins followed.

The department was forced to reveal on Wednesday the High Schools' GCSE pass rates at A* to C including English and Maths having consistently refusing to do so.

It revealed that La Mare de Carteret's provisional results for this year were 12%, which led to a public backlash.

Deputies Tony Spruce and David De Lisle currently remain defiant.
