Ontario delays releasing math and literacy test results amid concerns over transparency and low scores.
Ontario’s standardized test results for math and literacy in Grades 3, 6, and 9 are set for release next week after being delayed by Education Minister Paul Calandra, who cited a need for a thorough review of the data.
The delay, which drew criticism from opposition leaders and educators, follows concerns over transparency and accountability, especially amid ongoing struggles with low math scores and post-pandemic learning gaps.
Calandra said he consulted educators and reviewed results board by board to ensure meaningful insights.
While the government has not confirmed the results' findings, it plans to share more about the testing system’s effectiveness.
Critics accused the government of politicizing the process, while some acknowledged the need for careful analysis.
