History
The Policy Analysis and Research Branch was created in January 1987, during a re-organization of the Ministry of Education. It assumed responsibilities from the former Research and Information Branch. The branch became a component of the Corporate Planning and Policy Division.
Within the branch, the Statistical Information Services Unit ceased to exist in 1989 and an Information Analysis and Consultation Unit was created. In 1991, the Policy Analysis and Research Branch was re-organized into three sections: Corporate Policy and Research, Corporate Issues and Information Services, and Statistical Services. In 1992, two new sections were created: Intergovernmental Policy and Liaison Services.
The Policy Analysis and Research Branch became part of the new Ministry of Education and Training in February, 1993. It ceased to exist later in 1993 and its functions were transferred to the new Policy Priorities and Curriculum Development Division.
