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?

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.
