Class Notes: Head of the class

Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid concedes she’ll likely hold that title for a short time, so who’s her pick for a replacement? “I’m not going to try and make the cabinet up,” she said with a laugh last week. “There are lots of excellent people and everybody’s interested in education—that’s what I’ve found.
