“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

The collapse of student testing in B.C. high schools (Fraser Institute)


A new study published by the Fraser Institute today finds that one out of every two Grade 10 students in British Columbia failed to meet the proficiency standard in math.

And participation rates in provincewide assessments have declined significantly.

The most recent B.C. Grade 10 numeracy assessment had a 77.7% participation rate, with only 48.2% of students meeting the proficiency standards.

By contrast: in 2015/16, 62.4% of students were proficient and the math exam was mandatory.
