New Test Results Released

Another batch of school test results are out through the province's Education Quality and Accountability Office.

They show between 30 and 40 per cent of students in Grades 3 and 6 do not read, write or do math at the provincial standard.

In addition, only 38 per cent of Grade 9 students scored at or above provincial standards in applied math.

The council's Marguerite Jackson says the results show many students have difficulty keeping up as they progress through school.

Results for individual schools and school boards are to be released next month.
