School Extremism: Special Adviser Resigns

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 08 Juni 2014 | 00.57

Education Secretary Michael Gove has been forced to apologise, while Theresa May's special adviser has quit in the public feud over the handling of alleged extremism in Birmingham schools.

Mrs May's aide Fiona Cunningham resigned following the investigation ordered by David Cameron into the dispute between two of his most senior ministers.

And Mr Gove wrote to apologise to Mr Farr and the Prime Minister "in acknowledgement of his role" in the row, which saw the Education Secretary's camp and Mrs May's side embroiled in a public row over the way Islamist extremism was tackled.

A Downing Street spokesman said: "The Prime Minister has been deeply concerned by the allegations made about extremism and a number of Birmingham schools.

"The Government, through the Department for Education and Ofsted, has taken swift action to investigate these allegations since they emerged in late 2013.

"The Prime Minister is taking a specific interest in ensuring this serious matter is being dealt with effectively.

"The detailed findings of thgovee investigations will be set out in Parliament on Monday by the Secretary of State for Education.

"The Prime Minister has made clear that he expects a robust response from all relevant organisations to any findings that confirm that the safety and learning of children in our schools have been put at risk.

"The Prime Minister has prioritised fighting all forms of extremism, including through setting up his Extremism Taskforce in the wake of the horrific killing of Lee Rigby.

"In relation to unauthorised comments to the media about the Government's approach to tackling extremism and the improper release of correspondence between Ministers, the Prime Minister has received the Cabinet Secretary's review establishing the facts behind these events.

"In acknowledgement of his role, today, the Secretary of State for Education has written separately to Charles Farr and the Prime Minister apologising for the original comments made to the Times newspaper.

"In addition, in relation to further comments to the Times, Fiona Cunningham has today resigned."
