The branch assumed the functions and responsibilities of the Centre for Early Childhood and Elementary Education and the Centre for Secondary and Adult Education, both of which were dissolved.
When the Ministry of Education was reorganised in 1993, the Curriculum Policy Development Branch was dissolved and its functions and responsibilities were distributed among the various components of the Ministry of Education and Training.
