IN CANADA, education is the responsibility of each province and territory.

The Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) is an intergovernmental body founded in 1967 by ministers of education to serve as

• 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
• an instrument to represent the education interests of the provinces and territories internationally

All 13 provinces and territories are members.

CMEC provides leadership in education at the pan-Canadian and international levels and contributes to the fulfilment of the constitutional responsibility for education conferred on provinces and territories.
