"Ontario high school students will soon need to pass a financial literacy test in order to graduate. Education Minister Paul Calandra emphasizes the importance of practical, real-world skills, including money management and budgeting."
"The updated curriculum requirements for financial literacy were set to take effect at the beginning of this school year, but Calandra paused that and other updates to give teachers more time for implementation."
"Instead of adding financial literacy to the Grade 10 math curriculum, it will remain in the Grade 10 career studies curriculum and will come with a mandatory test."
"Students must achieve at least 70 percent to pass the financial literacy test, and if unsuccessful after two attempts, they may receive additional instruction and support before trying again."
