The Ford government is moving to require all new teachers to pass a mandatory math test before they can teach in Ontario. Teachers seeking to work in the province "would need to successfully complete a mathematics proficiency test as a requirement for registration," says a government document. No further details of the nature of the math test were provided. For example, she questioned why additional resources aren't being made available to teachers to improve the way they teach math. The province is currently running what it calls the "largest education consultation" in Ontario's history, focusing on a number of topics, including sexual education, math and science and the use of mobile phones in classrooms.
