Dear John,
A new Fraser Institute study out today finds that standardized testing is on the decline in Canada.
This will limit the ability of parents, teachers and principals to measure student performance and the overall health of the education system!
Not only are standardized tests are now administered less often and at fewer grade levels than they once were, but more tests also now fail to measure “subject-specific” content knowledge, so acquiring critical background knowledge such as specific aspects of Canadian history are less important and thus less emphasized.
Learn more by checking out the full study here.
Sincerely,
Niels Veldhuis
President
The Fraser Institute
