Ruth Kelly in profile
Ruth Kelly became a minister for the
first time after the 2001 election as
economic secretary to the Treasury.
She replaced Charles Clarke as
education secretary during a Cabinet
reshuffle following David Blunkett's
resignation as home secretary in 2004.
But she was criticised by teaching
unions after rejecting advisor Sir Mike
Tomlinson's proposals to replace GCSEs
and A-levels with a new diploma.
She also failed to win support for new
reforms among Labour MPs and teachers.
