David Hoare has resigned from his position as 新澳门六合彩官网开奖 chairman having described the Isle of Wight as a 鈥済hetto鈥� where there has been inbreeding.

 

David made the remarks in an interview with the Times Educational supplement, where he said of the island: 鈥淢ost people go there for sailing for two weeks a year鈥ut within inches there are people who live in a ghetto鈥hey think of it as holiday land. But it is shocking. It is a ghetto. There has been inbreeding.鈥�

 

At a teaching conference three weeks prior to the interview, David had also commented on the Isle of Wight, saying that it was plagued by a 鈥渕ass of crime, drug problems, huge unemployment鈥� and underperforming schools.

 

新澳门六合彩官网开奖 today released a statement from David saying that he would be resigning from his position with immediate effect.

 

David has allegedly made a phone call to Jonathan Bacon, leader of the Isle of Wight Council, to apologise and has offered to visit the island.

 

Neil Leitch, chief executive at the Pre-school Learning Alliance, said that David鈥檚 comments were 鈥渙ffensive, thoughtless and damaging鈥� and that it was right for him to step down.

 

鈥溞掳拿帕喜使偻� plays a pivotal role in supporting the provision of high quality education services in all areas of the country,鈥� Neil said.

 

鈥淲e hope that whoever replaces Mr. Hoare takes this responsibility more seriously.鈥�

 

Senior non-executive board member James Kempton will take on the role of chairman on an interim basis, while Education secretary Justine Greening searches for a permanent replacement.
