Education Minister Stephen Lecce said the results for the 2022-23 school year are positive and due to a revised curriculum and a lack of school closures due to COVID-19 and labour disruptions.
The EQAO said that 60 per cent of Grade 3 students met the provincial standard for math, up from 59 per cent the year before. Half of Grade 6 students met the provincial standard in math, up from 47 per cent the previous year. For Grade 9 students, 54 per cent met the provincial math standard, up from 52 per cent the previous year."This is a huge opportunity for the province to really continue to refocus on mathematic achievement," he said.
The Progressive Conservative government campaigned in 2018 on bringing in a new math curriculum, criticizing the former Liberal government's so-called Discovery Math curriculum and years of declining EQAO math scores. Overall, students performed better on reading and writing assessments than on the math tests. The EQAO said 73 per cent of Grade 3 students met the standard for reading and 65 per cent met the standard for writing, both unchanged from the year before.
