Summary
- Only 52 percent of BC grade 10 students completed the grade 10 Literacy Assessment in 2019/20.
- Only 47 percent of BC grade 10 students completed the grade 10 Numeracy Assessment in 2019/20.
- Of those students who completed the grade 10 Literacy Assessment, 74 percent were proficient or above.
- Of those students who completed the grade 10 Numeracy Assessment, only 40 percent were proficient or above.
- Only 17 schools saw 90 percent or more students complete the grade 10 Literacy and Numeracy Assessments.
- COVID-19 related school closures, a push from the BC Teachers Federation for parents to pull their children from standardized testing, and a significant change to the nature of student testing in BC may have all contributed to the gap in testing data.
