Grade ten students’ drop in performance could lead to changes in schools
PRINCE GEORGE – School District 57 (SD57) held its first school board meeting of the year Tuesday, and among many topics was grade ten learning. The 2024/25 school year marks the third year of a five year strategic plan set out two years ago, and one of the goals was to raise literacy and numeracy in grade 10 students by 10%. However, not only was this goal not reached, these statistics dropped in 2022/23, which are the most recent statistics available.
“We try to set achievable goals, but if you don’t achieve your goal, then of course, you have to go back and look at your structures, your procedures, your ways of teaching,” said SD57’s Superintendent Jameel Aziz.
