In Memoriam: Bill Schmidt

28 May 2025

It is with deep sadness and heartfelt sympathy that we announce the passing of our esteemed fellow Bill Schmidt.

Bill Schmidt was a valued part of our academy for many years, and his dedication, warmth, and contributions touched the lives of many. As founder of the Center for the Study of Curriculum Policy he was not only interested in enhancing education, but eager to establish equality of opportunity for students, which can clearly be seen in his other works as well.

Our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to his family, loved ones, and all who were close to him during this difficult time. We will cherish Bill’s memory and hold it in the highest regard.

In silent remembrance,

Kadriye Ercikan and Olga Troitschanskaia, on behalf of the Board of Directors of the IAE

GENERAL ASSEMBLY 2024

The General Assembly meeting was held at the Raffles Town Club in Singapore from Thursday, September 5 through Saturday, September 7. Several discussion sessions were held on Thursday and Fellows attended a welcome dinner hosted by Professor Liu Woon Chia, director of Singapore’s National Institute of Education (NIE). On Friday, Fellows participated in a symposium sponsored jointly by the Academy and the Educational Research Association of Singapore (ERAS). The symposium was attended by approximately 100 Singaporean educators. The business meeting was held on Saturday morning Kadriye Ercikan assumed the presidency and Ee-Ling Low was elected President-Elect. A decision concerning the host and location of the 2026 General Assembly was delayed because of the relatively small number of attendees at the business meeting. There are two possible locations and hosts: Harvard University (Fernando Reimers) and the University of Bari, Italy (Beatrice Ligorio). Ballots will be sent to the entire membership of the Academy and the location/host receiving the most votes will be chosen.
