Ontario’s education minister is instructing school boards to prioritize student achievement rather than emphasizing political ideologies in their upcoming graduation ceremonies.
Education Minister Paul Calandra sent a letter to educators and school board staff on March 20 to address what he called “two serious and pressing matters” as educators gear up for student graduations this spring.
