(LIBERTY UNYIELDING) – Ontario public schools will no longer require incoming teachers to pass a basic math proficiency test after finding racial disparities in passage rates.
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice ruled Friday the Maths Proficiency Test (MPT) requirement “unconstitutional” after finding that it impaired non-white teacher candidates and that government schools did not do enough to address MPT-related racial inequity.
The MPT was implemented as part of an effort to improve Ontario students’ below-average math scores, according to CBC News.
