Examinations Split to Ease Repetition Burden
Deputy minister Dr. Duncan McArthur proposed a two part middle and upper school exam plan for Ontario high schools. Six subjects would be attempted in year three with two or fewer failures permitting progression to year four, while more than two failures would require repeating the year.
