Below are lists of ministers of who headed both portfolios before the 2003 merger.
Ministers of Science (1990–2003) From 1990 to 1992 the first three ministers held the title of Minister of Science, Technology and Informatics. In August 1992 the ministry was renamed Ministry of Science and Technology, which remained unchanged until 2003.
Ministers of Education (1990–2003) Between 1990 and 1993 the ministry was called Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports. In April 1993 it was renamed Ministry of Culture and Education.
