Examinations Suggest Split For Ontario Middle School
Dr. Duncan McArthur deputy minister of education urged the Ontario Educational Association to divide the middle school exam into two parts. The first part would cover six subjects in third year with two or fewer failures allowing advancement to fourth year. A third year student with more than two failures would repeat. The second part in fourth year would test six more subjects with those under two failures eligible for upper school exams. He argued it is unfair to require repeating a year for a single failure.
