EspañolMIKE TOMLINSON
'Sir Mike Tomlinson CBE' is the chair of the Working Group for 14-19 Reform which has been commissioned by the British Government to look into reform of the syllabus and qualifications structure for 14–19 year-olds in the English education system.
He studied Chemistry at the University of Durham before going on to do a PGCE at the University of Nottingham, followed by 12 years in the classroom as a science teacher, including some time on secondment to ICI.
In 1978 he joined Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Schools (now Ofsted) and, in this capacity, helped to re-establish the education system in Kuwait following the first Gulf War. In 1989, he became Chief Inspector (secondary) and in 1997 he was made a CBE. In 2000, he became Chief Inspector of Schools, a post which he held until his retirement in 2002. Shortly after his retirement, he led an enquiry (the Tomlinson enquiry) into the controversy surrounding A-level grading, and was then appointed chair of the 14–19 Working Group in 2003. He is also a governor of the University of Hertfordshire, a member of the boards of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority and the National Assessment Agency, a member of the Public Engagement group of the Science Museum, and a fellow and a member of the council of the RSA. Tomlinson was made a knight in the New Year's Honours list of 31 December 2004.
