History
As a result of the Report of the Ministerial Commission on French Language Secondary Education and the recommendations of the task force on re-organization, a permanent planning board, the Council on French Language Schools was formed in 1972 to ensure the continuing development of elementary and secondary French language education in Ontario. Dr. Laurier Carrière was named full-time chairman with a rank the equivalent of an Assistant Deputy Minister. In 1977, in order to recognize the growing importance of the Council on French Language Schools, the chairman's role was enlarged and renamed Assistant Deputy Minister, Council on French Language Schools.
The name of the Council was changed to Council for Franco-Ontarian Education in 1979, and the Assistant Deputy Minister's position was renamed Assistant Deputy Minister, Council for Franco-Ontarian Education; at the same time, the mandate of the Council was expanded to include post-secondary education. The title of the Assistant Deputy Minister was changed to that of Assistant Deputy Minister, Franco-Ontarian Education, on April 1, 1980.
An Order-in-Council, dated July 1, 1980 and effective in November 1980, gave the Council for Franco-Ontarian Education the status of an advisory body to the Ministers of Education and Colleges and Universities, and separated the positions of Chairman of the Council and Assistant Deputy Minister, Franco-Ontarian Education; the Assistant Deputy Minister became a non-voting member of the Council.
The Council for Franco-Ontarian Education was re-organized in 1991. The scope of its mandate was reduced to elementary and secondary education and another advisory body, the Advisory Council for Francophone Affairs, was created to advise the Minister of Colleges and Universities on matters pertaining to post-secondary French language education.
The Ministries of Education, Colleges and Universities and Skills Development were combined in February, 1993. As a result, the Council for Franco-Ontarian Education and the Advisory Council on Francophone Affairs were merged in 1994 to form the Council for Franco-Ontarian Education and Training; its mandate also included skills development.
