The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) has released provincial data from its 2022-2023 assessments, which marks the second year of the agency's reporting on the student achievement results of its digitalized and modernized provincial assessments.
More than 580 000 students across the province completed EQAO assessments at the elementary and secondary levels of the English- and French-language school systems during the 2022-2023 school year. EQAO is reporting on achievement results as well as data from student questionnaires. This provides contextual and attitudinal information about student learning to build a fuller picture of learners' contexts and the factors that influence achievement.
EQAO data provide an independent snapshot that shows whether students are meeting curriculum expectations in reading, writing and mathematics at key stages of their education.
ASSESSMENT DATA AND OBSERVATIONS
Because of the substantial changes to the assessments in the 2021-2022 school year (the shift from paper-based to digital; the introduction of a new mathematics curriculum, which required redesigned mathematics assessment components), and in the context of establishing up-to-date baselines for EQAO's digital assessments, new trendlines were set and first used in 2021-2022.
Assessment results from last year are provided along with those from the 2022-2023 school year to show trends in achievement and attitudes over the last two years. Such analyses of results contribute to a better understanding of student learning over time.
