Results of a math test teacher candidates in Ontario must pass in order to be certified show striking disparities across language, age and racial groups, the province’s teachers’ federation says.

The Ontario Teachers’ Federation, which advocates for more than 160,000 teachers in the province, requested roughly a year’s worth of success rates for the test with demographic information included.

It shows that overall, about 68 per cent of teacher candidates passed the test on their first try, with that number jumping to 82 per cent once people who failed the first time took the test again.
