Where's Margarita?
Our travel-loving EdSec (apparently known to her boss as "Margarita") is off to Germany this week, with public events in Bonn on Wednesday and Thursday.
"Wednesday, November 21 3:40 p.m. CET Secretary Spellings will deliver remarks at the Ministerial Panel on "Relevance and Quality – What are the Challenges?" during the Third Ministerial Meeting on Education of the Broader Middle East and North Africa (BMENA) countries and the Group of Eight (G8). On Thursday, November 22 9 a.m. CET Secretary Spellings will be attending the Third Ministerial Meeting on Education of the Broader Middle East and North Africa (BMENA) countries and the Group of Eight (G8)."
Germany in November -- is that a trip all her staff want to go on (side trip to Berlin!) or no (week of Thanksgiving!). I'm thinking no.
