flag Ontario high school students in grades 9 and 10 still lack mandatory final exams, with no province-wide policy, leaving assessment to local boards.

flag Ontario high school students in grades 9 and 10 remain without mandatory final exams, despite their older peers returning to exams in 2022. flag The province has not issued new policies, leaving assessment methods to local boards. flag While some, like Ottawa-Carleton, have reintroduced exams under a “back-to-basics” push, Niagara’s public and Catholic boards have not changed practices, citing lack of ministry guidance. flag The Ministry’s “Growing Success” framework still requires a 30% final evaluation—such as a project or performance—but does not mandate exams. flag Education experts warn the absence of exams may hinder students’ readiness for post-secondary education, though concerns over equity and academic integrity during the pandemic led to the initial shift to flexible assessments.
