The Ministry of Education was formed in June 17, 1999, when the Ministry of Education and Training was divided into the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities. As a result, the Office of the Deputy Minister of Education and Training ceased to exist and its functions were assumed by the Office of the Deputy Minister of Education, Ministry of Education (1999- ).
The position of Deputy Minister was held by Charles E. Pascal (1993-1995), Richard Dicerni (1995-1996), Jill Hutcheon (1996, acting), and Veronica Lacey (1996-1999).
