Background

Director of Education Reform, EDB (Bahrain)

Geoff has a Bachelors’ degree in Engineering and Masters’ degree in Education Leadership and Management. Has been the Director of Education Reform at the Economic Development Board of Bahrain since 2008. Originally an Engineer, Geoff retrained as a teacher and worked in various schools for 13 years. Geoff left his position of Deputy principal of a large Secondary school in 2000 and joined the private education sector in the UK as Director of Quality Assurance and latterly School Improvement. After eight years working both across the UK and internationally on schools transformation projects, Geoff came to Bahrain as lead consultant for the establishment of the School review unit of the Bahrain Qualifications Authority (BQA). After the establishment of the BQA, Geoff joined the EDB and the rest, as they say, is history.
