Conclusion (the committee's words)
The Committee questioned Sir Ian on his background, his motivations for the role, and priorities for Ofqual.20 We asked him about his work to restore stability to the organisation following the appointment of five Chief Regulators in a four-year period.21 We additionally spoke to Sir Ian about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) on exam cohorts, his approach to regulating the use of artificial intelligence in the qualifications sectors, and his views on reforms to post-16 qualifications, adjustments for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) during assessments, and the role of T-Levels.22 We will monitor closely how Sir Ian and Ofqual address these issues. Further scrutiny of Ofqual
