The Ontario government is investing more than $180 million to help students across the province improve their reading, writing, and math skills.
“We know that for your children to strive to reach their full potential, we must ensure they master their foundational skills every day,” Education Minister Stephen Lecce said during a news conference alongside Parliamentary Assistant Patrice Barnes Sunday morning.
In Ontario, Lecce said Education Quality and Accountability Office’s data shows there are schools that have consistently underperformed in fundamental skills. When it comes to math specifically, Lecce said the province would be investing more than $71 million in the 2023-2024 school year for this new plan, which supports Ontario’s mandated financial literacy and coding in all grades.
“They will spearhead math curriculum implementation that will standardize the training and provide additional support for math coaches in schools and in classrooms,” he said, adding this new plan would also include the expansion of financial literacy and more hands-on practical learning, including personal budgeting, how to save, how to pay taxes, obtain a mortgage, and live within one means, as well as more digital math tools.
“where we need to raise standards to improve the training and the outcomes of our kids.” The goal of this initiative, he said, is to “identify and recommend targeted high impact teaching practices to improve math achievement right.”
