High school exams, abandoned.
Standardized provincial tests, to make sure kids are learning what they’re expected to in reading, writing and math? Gone this year.
Throw in all the other tumult the past year has brought in education, from months of forced learning online at home, under a system put together on the fly, to repeated interruptions of the school year, and the loss of so many extras, and a key question looms: What learning gaps will COVID-19 leave for Ontario’s nearly two million students?

Rayman Miller lives in the northwest Toronto neighbourhood of Weston, in a tower of rental units off the 401. Since last March, Rayman, who is 21, his mom and his younger siblings have been home for most of the day every day in their three-bedroom apartment. Rayman shares a bedroom with his two brothers, who are 14 and 18. Before the pandemic, their mom, Kaleena, worked at the Wahlburgers at Pearson airport, and Rayman was about to start a job working with kids in an after-school program. Covid left them both unemployed. Rayman is studying at Humber College to be a paralegal and brings in a bit of money selling Amway products and nutritional supplements part time. (Even on the phone, his voice is warm and charming—you would place an order.) Rayman says, jokingly, that his other job is unpaid tutor. He spends his days bouncing between his own online courses and helping his brother Deshawn, who’s in Grade 9, and his sister, Shakera, who’s in Grade 7, with theirs.

Educators are growing concerned about the impact of a hybrid remote and in-class learning approach for high-school students as early reports from several parts of the country suggest a drop in academic performance.
High-school education has shifted dramatically this academic year, involving less classroom time as students stay home and learn remotely and, in many cases, have to complete course material over a fewer number of weeks. Students’ marks and credit accumulation is an emerging worry among educators and parents as the pandemic’s toll becomes increasingly visible.
