The following notes are intended as an introduction to the Faculty discussion on actuarial education. They are presented by the authors separately and personally, but solely as introductory notes, rather than as actuarial papers which might represent their considered judgement about the nature and purpose of what actuarial education should be. Instead it is hoped that they will stimulate a wide-ranging discussion about all aspects of actuarial education, particularly of course in the context of what the Faculty does or might do in this respect.
