Ministry of Education and Higher Education (Quebec)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (in French: Ministère de l’Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur, abbreviated as MEES) was the combined government ministry of Quebec that governed education, recreation, and sports from 27 February 2015 to 22 June 2020.

The ministers of Education and of Higher Education were the individuals who had the political responsibility for the regulation and oversight of educational services offered in the province as well as for the Ministry of Education.

History

The Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Science and the Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports were first combined on 28 January 2016 during a reshuffle and rework of the cabinet under Philippe Couillard.[1] The responsibility of research was transferred to the Ministry of Economy, whereas the Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports was later split into two different functions; Education, and Recreation, Sports and the Outdoors.

On June 22, 2020, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Higher Education separated and succeeded the Ministry of Education and Higher Education.[2]
