According to a new HEQCO report, the Ontario government's elimination of streaming for Grade 9 math classes is showing early signs of success. Most students surveyed as part of Analyzing Student Supports in Destreamed Math: Helping Students Succeed and Make Informed Choices About PSE achieved a passing grade in Grade 9 math and a large proportion reported generally positive experiences of equity and well-being in their classroom. This was not experienced equally as students with special education needs (SEN) reported additional challenges. Survey findings also suggest province-wide academic supports have been useful to those who access them, but usage rates have generally been low.
