History
The Ministry of Education was established in 1979 as the successor to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (OIC 2957/79). The ministry was responsible for ensuring that students enrolled in elementary and secondary schools have access to quality and cost-effective education and for setting standards for the overall direction of the education system. It does this by managing finance and facilities, program direction development and implementation, student access and achievement, teaching performance, and through system evaluation and public accountability.
In 1996 the Ministry of Education was disestablished. Its functions were transferred to the newly established Ministry of Education, Skills and Training, alongside functions relating to skills and training transferred from the disestablished Ministry of Skills, Training and Labour (OIC 199/96).
