The report cards are in for Francophone Schools around the Province and the numbers show plenty of promise. In Grade 2, 72 per cent of francophone students are reaching or exceeding the oral reading standard and 73 per cent have achieved the objective in reading comprehension. In reading comprehension, outcomes are similar to those in 2008, with an increase of 10 percentage points since 2006. Education Minister Roland Hache says they continue to work toward the 2013 literacy target of 90 per cent of students reaching or exceeding the appropriate literacy level.
In math, 64 per cent of Grade 5 students, 58 per cent of Grade 8 students, and 53 per cent of Grade 11 students attained or exceeded the standard. In science and technology, 65 per cent of Grade 5 students reached or exceeded the standard. Report cards will be sent home with students in the coming days.
