Klaus Mattar, Chair

Since the proposed new IAA education syllabus was unveiled and discussed in Zürich, there have been several developments. To facilitate feedback on the new syllabus, the Syllabus Review Task Force distributed two documents:

The task force has also been reviewing extensive feedback received in Zürich and in subsequent submissions from member associations, IAA committees, other interested bodies and individual actuaries and educators. A revised syllabus will be presented to the Education Committee in Vancouver, together with proposals for implementation of the syllabus (including timeframe) and for accreditation of the education programs of member associations.

The Education Committee is seeking to develop a syllabus that will ensure that actuaries continue to be sought after, effective, and trusted in future decades. Member associations also require time to adjust to the new syllabus and flexibility to shape it to their local conditions and needs.
