Test results will be released next fall. To better prepare students for those future studies or work, our new math curriculum is more rigorous and requires them to learn more in the earlier grades. Recent international test results show Ontario student results are improving in science and math. In fact, their math scores helped pull Canada up from 13 th place to 9 th in the world. We will continue to work to improve student achievement with our curriculum that sets higher standards, with improved supports for teachers and students, and with ongoing assessment.
Standardized tests are just one component of the government's plan for quality education.
EQAO is an independent agency of the government responsible for provincial testing in Ontario.
