Cheating on EQAO Tests Examined


Ten public schools in Ontario have been investigated for cheating and irregularities on last year's province-wide tests in reading, writing and mathematics.

Marie Parsons, chief assessment officer at the Education Quality and Accountability Office, says some schools cheated while others inadvertently broke the rules.

Parson says in some cases, students were provided questions beforehand or handed back answers to correct.
