Ontario’s Education Minister Jill Dunlop says recent standardized test results are an encouraging sign that classroom learning is stabilizing after pandemic disruptions.
Results from the Education Quality and Accountability Office — better known as E-Q-A-O — show math results are steady or slightly improving, though still low.
For Grade 3 students, 71 per cent met the provincial standard in reading, down two percentage points from the previous year, and 64 per cent met the standard in writing, down from 65 per cent the previous year.
For students in Grade 6, 82 per cent met the provincial standard in reading, down two percentage points from the previous year, and 80 per cent met the standard in writing, down from 84 per cent in the previous year
Results from the literacy test taken in Grade 10 show 85 per cent of students were successful, the same share as last year.
