Yukon high school students write the same graduation assessments as BC students.
Students must write a:
- Grade 10 Numeracy Assessment; and
- Grade 10 and Grade 12 Literacy Assessment before they finish high school.
The numeracy and literacy assessments replace the BC Provincial Exams (BCPEs) that students used to write. This change is part of the changes to the school curriculum.
The new graduation assessments are being integrated between 2018 and 2022.
- BC introduced the Grade 10 Numeracy Assessment in 2018.
- The Grade 10 Literacy Assessment was introduced during the 2019–20 school year.
- BC has just announced that the introduction of the Grade 12 Literacy Assessment will be pushed back to the 2021–22 school year.
