Confirming the appointment Secretary of State for Children Schools and Families Ed Balls said his experience would be “invaluable” as legislation is introduced to transform the QCA into the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA).
Balls thanked outgoing QCA chair Sir Anthony Greener for his “commitment and dedication”. He said he was delighted that Trinick would be bringing to the QCA and to the QCDA, as its first chair, his “considerable talent in leading public sector organisations through major change and reform”.
Trinick, who will be paid £60,000 for working three days a week, said he looked forward to working with Greener to “ensure a smooth transition” and with officials and board members of the QCA as it evolves into a development agency “providing the key source of expertise on curriculum, assessment and qualifications”.
