Preseli Pembrokeshire's AM Paul Davies has been appointed the Welsh Shadow Education Minister.
Mr Davies will also continue with his previous role as Minister with responsibility for the Welsh language.
"I am delighted to have been appointed to such an important job and am looking forward to getting to grips with my new portfolio," said Mr Davies.
"Improving education is one of the biggest challenges facing us today and is at the heart of Conservative policy.
"The Welsh language is obviously a cause close to my heart and I am pleased to be able to continue my work in promoting and protecting it."
