THE DECLINE OF STANDARDIZED TESTING

    From the Fraser Institute:  This study examines how standardized testing has changed in Canada over the last twenty years. There are three clear national trends: [1] standardized tests today place less emphasis on subject-specific knowledge; [2] standardized tests are not given the same value as they once were; [3] standardized tests are administered less often and at fewer grade levels. In addition, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the future of standardized testing in Canada is of some concern.
