In Canada, education is the responsibility of each province and territory. Because ministers of education needed a forum in which to discuss issues of mutual concern, they established the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) in 1967. CMEC is the national voice for education in Canada. It is the mechanism through which ministers consult and act on matters of mutual interest, and the instrument through which they consult and cooperate with national education organizations and the federal government. CMEC also represents the education interests of the provinces and territories internationally. 2, record 1, English, - Council%20of%20Ministers%20of%20Education%2C%20Canada

Au Canada, chaque province et chaque territoire a la responsabilité de son propre système d'éducation. Les ministres de l'Éducation ont toutefois éprouvé le besoin d'avoir un outil commun de concertation, de participation et de communication. Le Conseil des ministres de l'Éducation (Canada) [CMEC] a donc été créé en 1967 pour être le porte-parole de l'éducation au Canada. Instrument des provinces et des territoires, le CMEC permet aux ministres de se concerter et d'agir dans des domaines d'intérêt mutuel. C'est également le mécanisme par lequel les ministres collaborent avec les organisations pancanadiennes en éducation et le gouvernement fédéral. Enfin, c'est l'organisme qui représente à l'étranger les intérêts des provinces et des territoires en matière d'éducation. 2, record 1, French, - Conseil%20des%20ministres%20de%20l%26rsquo%3B%C3%89ducation%20%28Canada%29
