Examiners

The Examiners Panel was constituted as a crucial part of BEP in the recognition that the examination bodies in the UK play a significant role in the education sector and the implementation of AI in education. The panel consists of key figures from the education exam boards (awarding bodies) in the UK. Its role is to provide expertise and insights into how AI is influencing exam board thinking while also serving as a body receptive to the ideas and suggestions of the other panels.
