      History

      The Secondary School Policy and Programs Branch was formed around 2003, expanding upon an existing project called the Secondary School Project. The branch consisted of two units: the School-Work-Transition Policy and Program Unit and the Secondary School Policy Unit. It was part of the Secondary Programs Division. The branch was dissolved around 2007, and its responsibilities were transferred to two different branches: the Student Success / Learning to 18 Implementation, Training and Evaluation Branch and the Student Success / Learning to 18 Strategic Policy Branch.
