Malcolm Skilbeck was born in Australia in 1932. After graduating from the University of Sidney, he received his M.A. from the University of Illinois and his Ph.D. from the University of London. He was Professor and Dean of Education at the University of Ulster from 1971 to 1975. Having served as a consultant to CERI (Centre for Educational Research and Innovation) in Paris and as a participant to its European programmes, he returned to Australia in 1976 and took the leadership of the newly founded Australian Curriculum Development Centre. As a Director of the Centre, he set about to promote cooperation between educational policy and development agencies from the five OECD member nations around the Pacific Ocean. In 1977 he was instrumental in the formation of the Pacific Circle Consortium linking Australia with Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States, aiming to foster international understanding, common educational aims and exchanges with other countries in the Pacific Rim, in Southeast Asia and in the Pacific Islands. Malcolm Skilbeck then became Director of Studies of the Schools Council for Curriculum and Examinations for England and Wales from 1981 to 1983, Professor of Curriculum Studies at the Institute of Education at the University of London from 1981 to 1985 and Vice Chancellor and Principal of Deakin University from 1986 to 1991 before joining the OECD in Paris as Deputy Director for Education of the Directorate for Education, Employment, Labour and Social Affairs. He is also a consultant of Unesco and the British Council. A world authority on education, Malcolm Skilbeck has published many articles, books and reports on curriculum theory and development, secondary and tertiary education, teacher education, and educational policy and youth training. He is the author of School Based Curriculum Development (Harper & Row 1985); co-author of Curriculum Reform (OECD 1991), The Vocational Quest (Routledge 1994) and of the influential survey: "Industry-university partnerships in the curriculum: trends and developments in OECD countries"(1996). His other interests include reading, the arts, travel, gardens and growing trees.
