Most Students Meeting School Test Standards


The provincial government is glowing over the latest results of standardized tests written by students last spring.

The number meeting standards in the Grade 3 and 6 tests for reading and writing and Grade 9 math was up five to 10 per cent in most areas.

However that success was not matched in mathematics in the elementary grades and in the Grade 9 applied course.

The Liberals say, overall, it's still proof that its education plan is working.

The results for individual boards and school will be released later in September.
