The new department was presided over by the minister of education who was assigned the powers formerly held by the chief superintendent of education. </p><p>Responsibilities for post-secondary education were part of the department's portfolio prior to 1964 when the <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_Training,_Colleges_and_Universities" class="mw-redirect" title="Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities">Department of University Affairs</a> was created. The Department of Education continued to be responsible for post-secondary education in applied arts and technology until 1971 when the responsibility was transferred to the renamed Department of Colleges and Universities. </p><p>In 1972, the Department of Education was renamed the Ministry of Education. The ministry again oversaw post-secondary education between 1993 and 1999. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reports">Reports</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ministry_of_Education_(Ontario)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Reports"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hall-Dennis_Report,_1968"><span id="Hall-Dennis_Report.2C_1968"></span>Hall-Dennis Report, 1968</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ministry_of_Education_(Ontario)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Hall-Dennis Report, 1968"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Hall-Dennis_Report" title="Hall-Dennis Report">Hall-Dennis Report</a>, officially titled Living and Learning, called for broad reforms to Ontario education, to empower teachers and the larger community, and put students' needs and dignity at the centre of education.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fullan_Report,_2013"><span id="Fullan_Report.2C_2013"></span>Fullan Report, 2013</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ministry_of_Education_(Ontario)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Fullan Report, 2013"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Fullan Report, officially titled Great to Excellent, calls for a focus on the 6 C's: Character, Citizenship, Communication, Critical thinking and problem solving, Collaboration and teamwork, and Creativity and imagination.
