Ontario. Dept. of Education. Registrar's Branch

• Registrar's Branch

In 1951, the staff and responsibilities of the Correspondence Branch were amalgamated with the Departmental Examination Branch to form the Registrar's Branch, which was under the direction of the Registrar.

In 1965, the Registrar's Branch was renamed the Registrar's Division, became part of the Program Branch, and responsibility for departmental correspondence and the Central Registry was transferred to the Departmental Business Administration Branch.

The Registrar's Branch was responsible for the direction and administration of the Provincial Departmental Examination papers and recording the results of these examinations.

The branch also had the responsibility for keeping all records relating to teachers in Ontario and administered departmental summer courses for teachers, handled the exchange of teachers between Ontario and other provinces or countries, and issued teaching certificates.

The Registrar's Branch also administered the Dominion-Provincial Student Aid program and all bursaries and scholarships. In addition, the branch had responsibility for all departmental correspondence, including the maintenance of the Department of Education's Central Registry.
