Mathematics in Education And Industry (MEI) is an independent A-Level, AS-Level, and GCSE mathematics education and assessment body in the United Kingdom.
History
MEI was founded in 1963. It received a grant from the Schools & Industry Committee of the Mathematical Association. In 1965 it produced its first exam, Additional Mathematics, then produced an A level course two years later. MEI's A-level exams were the first to include probability.
It was incorporated as a company on 18 October 1996.
Structure
Although independent, MEI works in partnership with many organisations, including the Government. MEI is a registered charity[1] with a board of directors, and a small professional staff.[2]
