Province rewrites to drop or include math exam marks
The Province will let students drop or include 30 percent exam marks in their final grades after criticism of the 40S math test. Education Minister Linda Macintosh says marks will still appear on report cards and back-up exams may be written if weather cancels the original date. School officials applaud the move amid concerns over provincial averages and board input.
