Achieving excellence : Atteindre l'excellence : une vision renouvelée de l'éducation en Ontario

As Ontario embarks on a renewed vision of success for all learners, the province will build on a solid foundation. A decade ago, only 54 per cent of children in grades 3 and 6 met provincial standards in literacy and numeracy. That number has grown significantly, and today 71 per cent of grade 3 and 6 students are achieving our high provincial standards. In addition, only 68 per cent of students were graduating from high school a decade ago. Now, 83 per cent of students are graduating. That means there are an additional 138,000 high school graduates in Ontario because of the education reforms of the past 10 years.
