History
Select Committees are ad-hoc committees of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario with specific terms of reference to investigate and report on a specific issue. This committee was established February 11, 1988. Dianne Poole acted as chair, although she was later replaced by Sterling Campbell. The Committee ended when the 34th parliament was dissolved in July 1990.
The committee held public hearings and produced four reports. Reports covered the underlying goals of education in the province, the length and organization of the school year, the financing of education and the early education of children including day-care.
The committee was reconstituted in June, 1990 with slightly changed terms of reference.
