Education Minister Stephen Lecce announces new math, reading and mental health supports
Some big changes coming to Ontario schools this year.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce says there's a new technology course for Grade 10 students, a new language curriculum and new mental and math supports.
“Our government is delivering on our commitment to continue to raise the bar by boosting student success in the classroom with a focus on reading, writing, math, STEM disciplines, and learning about mental health literacy,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education. “Our students deserve a stable and enjoyable school year with the full school experience of extracurriculars, clubs and more that build real life and job skills that go beyond the classroom.”
Lecce says the government will invest $71 million to create Math Action Teams, which will double the number of math coaches in grades 3, 6 and 9.
As well, new funding has been announced to support early reading screenings for kids from Year 2 of kindergarten to second grade.
Other highlights include new financial literacy lessons to teach kids to budget and manage their money.
