In 1899 the Board of Education Act abolished the Committee and instituted a new Board, headed by a President, as of April 1, 1900. 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.

Vice-President of the Committee of the Council on Education
On July 20, 1911, she was married to J. Jameson, and two days afterwards, through her husband, she notified the president of the board of her acceptance of the position, and that she proposed to go on with the work the next year.
On the other theory of her case plaintiff was permitted to prove notice to the president, through her husband, on July 22, 1911, of her acceptance of the appointment, and her purpose to teach under the terms of the contract, for the then ensuing year.
This was before any revocation or attempted revocation of the board in employing her, and though the president swears that he then said to plaintiff's husband that because of her marriage she had better resign, this did not amount to action by the board, binding her or it.
