The Ontario government is considering to implement mandatory annual math testing for all teachers in the province.
Senior government sources have told The Canadian Press that teachers would be required to pass the test in order to continue to teach.
The Progressive Conservative government has repeatedly promised to take measures to improve student math scores which have been declining for years across the province. The sources could not immediately say what the test will look like or who will administer it, adding that the government would still need to consult with teachers and parents on the matter.
The agency also suggested that efforts by the previous Liberal government to reverse the trend haven't worked.
