History
In 1968, the broadcast production and teacher training functions of the Audio-Visual Unit of the Curriculum Section were reassigned within the Department of Education. As a result, the Audio-Visual Unit was dissolved and the Learning Materials Service Unit was established. The Learning Materials Service Unit remained as a component of the Curriculum Section (renamed Curriculum Branch in 1971).
When the Department of Education was reorganized as the Ministry of Education in 1972, the Learning Materials Service Unit became part of the new Curriculum Service Branch. The Curriculum Service Branch was responsible for overseeing the decentralization of the Learning Material Service Unit's audio-visual library to local school boards and Ministry Regional Offices. When this was completed, the Learning Materials Service Unit ceased to exist effective May 1, 1973.
