Talk:Midland Examining Group

History - TWMEB
I've tagged a couple of points with 'fact' tags as I believe them to be inaccuracies.

My memory is that The West Midlands Exam Board (TWMEB) continued to operate as an independent entity (and a partner in MEG) until 1998. Part of the reason was that TWMEB had a contract with UCLES to service the MEG exams and partly because TWMEB had diversified into areas beyond simply supplying CSE exams: Mill Wharf Training provided in-service training; other subdivisions of TWMEB provided Prison Education and OFSTED inspections. In 1998, on the formation of Unitary Examining Bodies, TWMEB wound itself up and transferred its assets to the newly-created OCR, in the process OCR took over as employer of the staff who wanted to transfer.

I'll need to search for some references to make sure that my memory serves me correctly before I attempt to do a re-write. --RexxS (talk) 04:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
