    History

    The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Branch was created in 1999 as part of the French Language Education and Educational Operations Division of the Ministry of Education. This Branch was responsible for the same functions as two earlier branches: the Curriculum, Learning and Teaching Branch (1996-1999), which was part of the Elementary/Secondary Policy Division of the Ministry of Education and Training (MET), and the Curriculum Assessment Team (1993-1996), part of the Policy, Priorities and Curriculum Development Division of MET.

    In 2001 the Branch had moved to being part of the Strategic Planning and Elementary / Secondary Programs Division, but its function was unchanged. In 2010, the Branch moved to the Learning and Curriculum Division, again with no change in function.

    In 2018 the Branch was renamed the Curriculum, Assessment, and Student Success Policy Branch in the new Student Achievement Division.
