History
The Centre for Secondary and Adult Education was established in January, 1987, within the Ministry of Education. It assumed some of the functions of the former Curriculum Branch.
The Centre formed part of the Learning Programs Division, and included the Ontario Assessment Instruments Pool/Banque d'instruments de mesure de l'Ontario Unit (OAIP/BIMO Unit) , the Learning Materials Unit, and Student Guidance Information Service Section. In 1988, the OAIP/BIMO Unit and the Learning Materials Unit were transferred from the Centre for Secondary and Adult Education and reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister, Learning Programs Division.
The Centre for Secondary and Adult Education ceased to exist during a restructuring of the Learning Programs Division in 1990. It was replaced by the Curriculum Policy Development Branch.
