SK discontinues Grade 12 provincial exams, transitions to new student assessment program

The Government of Saskatchewan will discontinue its Grade 12 provincial examination program by the end of August 2025 as part of its transition to a province-wide student assessment program. West Central Online reports that the new assessment program is intended to be more equitable, improve overall student achievement, and ensure a consistent understanding of what it means to be at grade level. SK states that adult learners and home-schooled students will be able to enrol in and earn credits for Grade 12 courses through the Saskatchewan Distance Learning Centre or qualifying postsecondary institutions.
