Gavin Williamson warned about people being promoted beyond their competence and everyone made the same joke
Education secretary Gavin Williamson isn’t having a good A-Level results day. In fact, it’s hard to imagine how it could possibly be any worse.
Williamson said people would have ‘taken advantage’ if he hadn’t controversially cut students’ A-level grades, and warned about the dangers of people being promoted beyond their competence.
The danger is that pupils will be overpromoted into jobs that are beyond their competence, says Gavin Williamson https://t.co/IFYtM4ym94
