Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canadian Education Association : The Canadian Education Association was established in 1891 as the Dominion Education Association, through the work of teachers' associations, ministers and superintendents of education. Today all departments and ministries of education, along with school boards, teachers' and trustees' associations, and many faculties of education, community college and university representatives in every province and territory, participate in CEA and benefit from its service.

The Association was organized in 1891 because educators felt a need to meet regularly, to share information and seek solutions to common problems. CEA has been doing this ever since. The idea of a federal bureau of education has been discussed several times since it was first raised in 1898, but education is a provincial responsibility. Hence, CEA, as an independent non-political association, fills this need instead.

Through the years, CEA has been an agency for interprovincial co-operation and at times an agency for joint action by departments of education. The Association has proved its usefulness in researching and disseminating reliable information on education with a national perspective.

In the past, CEA has given attention to international affairs in education and has participated in Unesco, and Commonwealth education conferences; it has administered scholarships to graduate students and provided research travel grants during the '60s and '70s. CEA is the only association with two representatives on the Canadian Commission for Unesco.

Through regular and special publications, and through meetings, seminars and annual conventions, CEA facilitates the exchange of information, ideas and experiences on all topics of concern to educators. CEA also undertakes and disseminates research that is of pratical use to all its members. (Taken from CEA literature).
