The members were initially very similar to the old Committee and the President of the Board was the Lord President of the Council; however, from 1902 this ceased to be the case and the President of the Board was appointed separately (although the Marquess of Londonderry happened to hold both jobs from 1903 to 1905).
The current Secretary of State for Education and Skills is Ruth Kelly following the promotion of Charles Clarke to Home Secretary on December 15, 2004. Kelly is a graduate of Oxford University which gives rise to the hope that she will work more smoothly together with Andrew Adonis who is to be said the real Secretary of State for Education, but not to be promoted since he has not any voters support.

Minister of Education has therefore put her finger on important areas of education such as the GSAT, rates of graduation from the High Schools, and everyone going on to college.
