      History

      The Research and Evaluation Branch of the Ministry of Education was established in July 1976, assuming the research function of the defunct Planning and Research Branch; it was part of the Education Development Division.

      In 1979, when the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Colleges and Universities came under the jurisdiction of a single minister and the administrative functions of the two ministries were merged, the Review and Development Section from the defunct Information Resources Branch of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities was transferred to the Research and Evaluation Branch. The Research and Evaluation Branch became part of the new Planning and Policy Analysis Division.

      In 1981 the Information Resource Centre of the Management Information Systems Branch was added to the Research and Evaluation Branch to form the Research Branch.
