      History

      In 1972, the Ontario Department of Colleges and Universities was renamed the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities, and a Minister was appointed to oversee the new agency. In 1979, a single Minister was appointed for both the Ministry of Colleges and Universities and the Ontario Ministry of Education. This situation lasted until mid-1985 when separate Ministers were appointed for each Ministry. However, once again, for a brief period lasting from August, 1989 to October, 1990, a single Minister administered both Ministries.

      A separate Minister of Colleges and Universities was appointed in October, 1990, but this structure remained in place only until February, 1993, when the three Ministries of Colleges and Universities, Education, and Skills Development were combined to form the Ontario Ministry of Education and Training.
