Graduation assessments have changed to align with the new curriculum. As part of the updated graduation requirements, students will have to complete two* provincial assessments – A numeracy assessment and a literacy assessment. Every student must take the assessment to evaluate their competencies in the two academic areas. They will focus on the demonstration and application of numeracy and literacy.
