before becoming an education minister. Seen the government-leaked proposal for September, and having only gone through school appeals process, I see the flaws. Should it be a requirement for a an MP in charge of education, defence, health at the very least have some connection to the field? Gavin Williamson was the MD of a pottery company. Should he not be minister of commerce or trade and industry?

Yes for sure ! I think this is the main problem with all of our governments and decision makers. No real life experience of their field.

Should the hoem secretary have experience of being in prison?

Should the health sec have run a hospital?

Cuts down the field somewhat doesn't it?

I totally agree OP, but my experience working for a government agency for 15 years is that the more senior you become, the less important your experience in the field. 🤷‍♀️
