History
The Administration Division was created in 1979 as part of the Ministry of Education, replacing the Administrative and Financial Services Division of the Ministry of Education and the Common Services Division of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities.
The Administration Division was headed by an Assistant Deputy Minister and was comprised of the Operations Division (headed by an Executive Director), as well as the Operations Analysis and Management Development, Information Systems, Internal Audit (renamed Audit later in 1979), and Personnel Branches. The Student Awards Branch, formerly of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, as well as the Communication Services, Office Services, and Financial Services Branches, reported through the Operations Division.
In 1980, the Administration Division was renamed the Administration and Finance Division. In 1981 the Administration and Finance Division ceased to exist and was replaced by the Administration and Planning Division, headed by an Assistant Deputy Minister.
