      History

      The Elementary Education Branch was created in April 1979, when the Curriculum Branch was divided into the Elementary Education Branch and the Senior and Continuing Education Branch. These new branches were components of the Curriculum Development Division, which in turn was part of the Education Programs Division, Ministry of Education.

      The Elementary Education Branch ceased to exist effective January 1, 1984, when it was merged with the Senior and Continuing Education Branch to form a new Curriculum Branch.
