EQAO Standardized Test Results to Be Released Next Week After Delay, Minister Says
Minister Calandra delayed EQAO test results to analyze pandemic-era funding effects on math and literacy, with scores to be released next week under embargo.
- On Nov. 24, 2025, Ontario Minister of Education Paul Calandra delayed the public release of EQAO results, sending them to Ontario school boards under embargo this week with broad release planned next week.
- Calandra said he wanted to take a `really deep dive` into what the tests were showing after months of consulting educators since April to assess pandemic-era math and literacy funding.
- The EQAO, an arm's-length agency, tests Grade 3 and Grade 6 students in reading, math and writing, Grade 9 in math and Grade 10 in literacy; last year's results showed low but steady or improving math scores.
- Educators and opposition figures reacted, saying the delay sparked outcry over transparency and politicization, with Martha Hradowy citing `unnecessary uncertainty` and opposition leaders demanding clarity.
- Noting he won't cancel the tests, the minister said more information will come next week and suggested changes to the EQAO testing regime may be coming.
