The memorandum. came from the Ontario Deparfmenf of Edu- cation. This year is to be the last for examinations set by the depart- mnent as lias been the practice for years past Next year Grade 13 students will write tests prepared by a newly formed "Service for ad- mission to. college and univers- lty." These tests will include an apti- tude test and achievement tests.. For the 1966 and 1967 tests the final mark will ýconsist of 35 per cent f eaclier's mark and 65 per cent examination mark. No Examinations In 1968 No Grade 13 examinations will be set 'in 1968. In that year university appli- cants will again write the apti- tude and achievemnent tests pre- pared by the Service for admis- sion to college and university. Also in 1968 the Department of Eduication will turn over to highschools the sch-ool. leaving ex-, amination at flic Grade 13 level. School records will be made available, to universities and otli- er institutions for further edu- cation. The report of the Minister of Education said 'The elimination. of tlie centralized examination will provide scliool systemns witli greater scope and flexibility ini providing students with more meanlngful educational experi- MoeScope Allowed Webelieve suc-l a cinewl a poaMmore closely rela.ted to uiverity rk* in termis of deptl\andi maturity." portcontnued "Ththflicas-sess- mient by the pi-ofessional staf A ~a stu1dent's total lachievem-fent fo- gether wil he etera clegýe enrnc ype test prov;ides theli mýost reliahle basis for peitn succss n fuureed1ucationa1ien The epot sid flice real proli- lem isliat tlie rae 3teaclier djoes Tnot have effective icontrol There wns alsothe opinion thaf students at teacliers' colleges sliould lie given special instruc- tion on liow f0 fencli reading ali- ility effecfivcly f0, students.
