      History

      The Curriculum Services Branch was created in April 1972, when the Department of Education was reorganized into the Ministry of Education. It assumed some functions from the former Curriculum Branch (other Curriculum Branch functions were assigned to the new Curriculum Development Branch). As well, the Curriculum Services Branch acquired functions of the disbanded Special Education Branch.

      The Curriculum Services Branch was part of the Education Administration Division. In 1974 the special education responsibilities of the Curriculum Services Branch were transferred to a new Special Education Branch.

      Portions of the Curriculum Services Branch and the Curriculum Development Branch were amalgamated in June 1976 to create a new Curriculum Branch.
