History
In the fall of 1993, the Anti-racism and Ethnocultural Equity Unit of the Community Education and Outreach Branch was renamed the Anti-racism and Ethnocultural Equity Team and became part of the new Anti-racism, Access and Equity Division.
In 1996 the mandate of the Anti-racism and Ethnocultural Equity Team was changed from development to monitoring of policies and programs and it was renamed the Anti-Discrimination and Equal Opportunity Branch and moved to the new Elementary/Secondary Operations and French-Language Education Division.

Functions, occupations and activities
The Anti-racism and Ethnocultural Equity Team promoted anti-racism and ethnocultural equity in elementary, secondary and post-secondary education by developing policies and programs for school boards, colleges and universities, and the Ministry.
The programs promoted by The Anti-racism and Ethnocultural Equity Team included the Workplace Equal Opportunity Program (promotion of equal opportunity and prevention of discrimination and harassment in the workplace) and the Anti-Discrimination Education Program (integration of an anti-discrimination perspective in Ministry's policies and activities and in learning materials).
The Team also assisted in identifying and eliminating racism and other barriers to equitable education, and co-ordinated the implementation of the recommendations in a report prepared by Stephen Lewis. As well, the Team trained Ministry employees in anti-racism and ethnocultural equity.
The branch also developed policy on English as a second language (ESL), actualisation linguistique en français (ALF), and elementary programs in international languages (other than English and French).
