      History

      The Centre for Early Childhood and Elementary Education was created in January 1987, replacing the former Centre for Primary and Junior Education. The Centre's role in the development of curriculum policy, programs and assessment instruments for the primary and junior levels (Grades 1 to 6) was expanded to include the policy development function for Grades 7 and 8. Combined with the change of name and the expansion of functions, the Centre was moved to the Learning Programs Division.

      The Centre ceased to exist in 1990 during a restructuring of the Learning Programs Division. It was replaced with the Curriculum Policy Development Branch.
