History
The Access and Equity Team was created in 1993 within the Antiracism, Access and Equity Division, Ministry of Education and Training.
It was then comprised of the Lifelong Learning Unit (renamed Career and Adult Education Group in 1995) and the Intervention / Compensatory Projects Unit (Community Education Group in 1995) which had formerly been part of the Community Education and Outreach Branch. It also initially included the Access and Equity Unit (ceased to exist in 1995) which had formerly been part of the Policy and Programs Branch of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities.
In 1996 the Access and Equity Team ceased to exist. The Career and Adult Education Group was renamed Secondary Education Project and became part of the Elementary/Secondary Policy Division. The remainder of the branch was transformed into the Adult Education Project and became a component of the Training Division of the Ministry of Education and Training.
