At the end of March CSIE bid a fond farewell to Linda Shaw, co-director of the Centre for twenty years. At the end of June Mark Vaughan, OBE, co-director and founder of CSIE in 1982, also left to devote his full attention to the Educational Change Consultancy. Artemi Sakellariadis, who joined the Centre in March this year, took over from the two co-directors and has been heading up CSIE as of 1 July.
