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
