Ontario students won’t be returning to the classroom on May 4, Premier Doug Ford announced today.
Ford says this does not mean the remainder of the school year has been cancelled.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce is expected to make a further announcement in the coming days.
An e-learning plan is currently in place for students which sets standards for different grade levels, ranging from five hours of work per week for Kindergarten to Grade 6 students and 10 hours of work per week for students in Grades 7 and 8.
The education minister said the plan will also require final report cards for all students and prioritize keeping them on track to graduate.
