Dear John,

There have been efforts by some groups to diminish the importance of – or even outright eliminate! – standardized testing in Canadian schools.

But a recent Leger poll commissioned for the Fraser Institute found that Canadian parents overwhelmingly support standardized testing.

A whopping 84% of parents of school-aged children in Canada support standardized testing to understand how their child and their child’s school are performing in reading, writing and mathematics.

It is important for government policymakers and educators to understand how strongly parents value and support standardized testing for their children and their children’s schools, so that the provinces’ testing is prioritized and improved moving forward.

Check out the full results here [[link removed]], and be sure to share them with any parents you know!

Stay safe,

Niels Veldhuis
