Education and Training Minister Kelvin Goertzen announced on Thursday, October 25, 2018, that Manitoba will start publishing the results of Grade 12 provincial tests by division.
Since 1999 the province published the test results provincially but did not break down the number by school division.
“We want to return to a practice that should have never ended and share this valuable information with parents,” said Goertzen. “This data will serve as an additional tool to inform them, as we know test results alone don’t reflect the ways a division supports students and many factors impact a student’s test performance including years of learning in earlier grades.”
Provincial testing is required at the end of each semester for Grade 12 students taking 40S Language Arts (English and French) and mathematics (essential, applied and pre-calculus). The test scores make up part of the student’s final grade.
