Province suspending student assessments

The province is suspending all student assessments until further notice. School boards will also suspend board level assessments and reporting requirements.  These issues will be referred to the Partnership on Systemic Working Conditions to determine which assessments should continue, whether data entry and reporting are necessary, and which assessments are of greatest benefit to student learning and accountability.
