History
The Education Administration Division was created in 1972 as part of the Department of Education's re-organization into the Ministry of Education. The division was composed of the Curriculum Services Branch, the Educational Exchange and Special Projects Branch, the School Business and Finance Branch, the Supervisory Services Branch, and the Regional Offices. In 1976 the Supervisory Services Branch was superseded by Supervision and Legislation Branch, the Educational Exchange and Special Projects Branch was renamed the Student Activities and Special Projects Branch, the Curriculum Services Branch was dissolved, and the Research and Evaluation Branch was created. An Assistant Deputy Minister headed the Education Administration Division.
In 1979 a merger of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Colleges and Universities was proposed. In preparation for the integration, the Education Administration Division was dissolved. Its Research and Evaluation Branch was transferred to the new Policy Analysis Planning Division and all other functions were assigned to the new Education Programs Division.
