Proyecto Latino year 1

In April 2008, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) reported that achievement test scores for Latino/a students were consistently among the lowest across both core school subjects as well as standardized literacy tests. Even more troubling was the report by the TDSB that roughly 40 percent of Latino/a students were not completing their secondary school graduation requirements. These alarming statistics have raised the concern of Toronto's Latino/a community as well as educators and public officials who are committed to providing all of their students with equitable opportunities for academic success.
