  • The Council of Ministers in the 1980S: Education Policy Innovator Or Broken Cog?
    Canadian Journal of Educational Administration and Policy, 187, 78-90 The Council of Ministers in the 1980s: Education Policy Innovator or Broken Cog? Dr. John Allison Schulich School of Education, Nipissing University Abstract Recent historical studies on the topic of the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada looked mostly at the era of the 1960s and the 1970s. Some work has also been completed on the institution’s role in international education and its responsibilities during the economic crises of these decades. This paper proposes to take this research one step further and now look more specifically at the decade of the 1980s. This paper will argue that in this era the CMEC found its raison d’être in several fields. These included official languages, and oversight of the testing programs run by the Organization for Economic Coopera- tion and Development (OECD). It also found its niche, to a lesser extent, through refining its connections to international education organizations. Finally, the decade saw the CMEC experimenting with a national agenda for education in conjunction with the provincial premiers and ministries of education. Keywords: education, governance, Canada, innovation, policy Introduction The question of governance in education systems in Canada is one that remains very topical. Clearly, the issue of who rules and to what extent is of critical importance. One of the organizations involved in this is the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC). Originally created in 1967 by then Ontario Minister of Education Bill Davis and his provincial colleagues, this organization had as its aim to be a forum to discuss policy issues; a mechanism through which to undertake activities, projects, and initiatives in areas of mutual interest; a means by which to consult and cooperate with national education organizations and the federal government; and finally an instrument to represent the education interests of the provinces and territories internationally.

  • Description and Finding Aid GEORGE IGNATIEFF FONDS F2020
    Description and Finding Aid GEORGE IGNATIEFF FONDS F2020 Prepared by Lynn McIntyre April 2013 GEORGE IGNATIEFF FONDS Dates of creation: [191-?] - 1989 Extent: 9 m of textual records Approximately 770 photographs 5 scrapbooks 24 audiovisual records Biographical sketch: George Ignatieff, diplomat and administrator, was born into a Russian aristocratic family in St. Petersburg in 1913. He was the fifth and youngest son of Count Paul Ignatieff and Natalie Ignatieff (née Princess Mestchersky). After fleeing Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution, the family arrived in England in 1920. By the end of that decade they had relocated to Upper Melbourne, Quebec. George Ignatieff was educated at Lower Canada College, Montreal, and in Toronto at Central Technical School and Jarvis Collegiate. In 1936 he graduated with a BA in Political Science and Economics from Trinity College, and then went to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship, completing his MA in Slavic Studies in 1938. At Lester B. Pearson's suggestion, Ignatieff wrote the External Affairs examination in 1939 and began working at Canada House in London. He returned to the Department of External Affairs in Ottawa in 1944. His many postings included: Canadian Ambassador to Yugoslavia (1956-1958), Assistant Undersecretary of State for External Affairs (1960-1962), Permanent Representative to NATO in 1963, and Canadian Ambassador to the UN (1966-1969). In 1972, Ignatieff left the post of Permanent Representative of Canada to the European Office of the UN at Geneva (from 1970) to become ninth Provost and Vice-chancellor of Trinity College, a position he held until 1979. From 1980 to 1986 he was Chancellor of the University of Toronto.
