      Historique

      When the Department of Education was reorganized in 1965, the Instruction Division was formed. The new Division consisted of the Program Branch (responsible for curriculum, elementary and secondary education, examinations and supervision of schools) and the Teacher Education Branch (responsible for operating teachers' colleges which trained elementary school teachers, and professional development of teachers).

      In 1966, the Educational Television Branch was formed as part of the Instruction Division. With the death of M.B. Parnall, the Director of the Program Branch, in 1968, the Program Branch was effectively dissolved (disappearing formally in 1970). Subsequently, the superintendents of the various sections (Curriculum Section, Special Education Section, Supervision Section and the Registrar's Section) reported directly to the Assistant Deputy Minister, Instruction Division.

      In 1970, the Educational Television Branch was transferred to the newly formed Ontario Education Communications Authority (TV Ontario). In 1971, the various sections in the Instruction Division reporting to the Assistant Deputy Minister officially became branches. The Division now consisted of the Curriculum Branch, Special Education Branch, Registrar's Branch, Supervision Branch and the Teacher Education Branch.

      In 1972, the Department of Education was reorganized into the Ministry of Education, and the Instruction Division was dissolved.
