Education Minister Stephen Lecce has announced a new Grade 9 math curriculum that eliminates the streaming of students into academic or applied courses.
Critics had been calling for an end to a practice they said discriminated against students from marginalized communities.
The new curriculum to begin in the fall will involve more real-life math applications and include lessons on financial literacy and coding.
The province says it will provide $40-million to train educators and some training materials will become available today
