History
The Ministry of Education was established in 1976 as the successor to the Dept of Education (OIC 3199/76). The ministry was responsible for the management of education in the province. It carried out its functions through four divisions which each reported to an assistant deputy minister. The Schools Department was responsible for providing leadership for the efficient delivery of educational programs and services in the areas of curriculum development and other policies; the Management Operations Department was responsible for providing management assistance both within and outside the department; the Post-Secondary Department was responsible for the general direction and provision of support services to community colleges and provincial institutes; the Education Finance Department was responsible for the evaluation of all financial aspects of the education system. In 1978, the ministry was renamed the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, at which time the responsibilities for science, technology, and metric conversion were added (OIC 3018/78).
