The majority of Grade 6 students in Ontario failed the province's standardized math test, according to new figures obtained by Global News, despite a pledge by Doug Ford's provincial government to boost grades and achievement.

Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) data, obtained by Global News and confirmed by the Ministry of Education, also shows math test scores for the 2021-2022 school year have not substantially improved since 2018 — when Premier Ford took office and promised change.

The latest data shows 59 per cent of Grade 3 students met the provincial mathematics standard. Just 47 per cent of Grade 6 students met the threshold, while 52 per cent of Grade 9 students were at the standard.

The test, however, was administered during unprecedented disruption in the education system due to COVID-19.

Global's Colin D'Mello has the story.
