I'll paste the whole of the news snippet in here because it says it better than I can. But in short we've lost the DfES and gained a whole host of other acronymistic departments for all sorts of things instead. We think we'll open our own department: the department for acronyms, floccinaucinihilipilifications and tribulations (DAFT).
Balls takes charge of new ministry for children
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has abolished the Department for Education and Skills (DfES), dividing its responsibilities between the Department for Children, Schools and Families under Ed Balls, and a new Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) under John Denham. Balls' department will take responsibility for all 14- to 19-year-old education, including in colleges. However, funding for adult education will be controlled by the DIUS. The £7 billion annual budget for 16- to 19-year-olds will in future be channelled through local education authorities rather than the Learning and Skills Council (LSC).
