One of every two Grade 10 public school students in B.C. failed to meet proficiency standards in math during the 2021/22 school year, according to a new report.

Proficiency isn’t the only element to decline, however. Participation rates in the province-wide assessments have also “declined significantly,” said the report from the Fraser Institute.
