Ministers of education in several provinces, including British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, are currently re-examining the curriculum for all subjects, including math.
Math scores, the focus of 2012 PISA tests whose results have just been released, declined 14 points in nine years in Canada. And the country produced fewer students who were high achievers – 16 per cent were at Level 5 or above – than the top Asian countries, where over 30 per cent scored at that high achievement level.
Provincially, Quebec emerged as a Canadian leader in math, well above Canada’s average, coming in at No. 8 when provincial scores are put into the international table. Educators say the high scores are likely the result of teachers in the province having studied math during their training so they can teach the subject with more confidence. Ontario’s Education Minister Liz Sandals has indicated that the province needs to improve teacher training in math.
The largest declines in student performance were in Manitoba, Alberta, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Scores in Alberta, once a Canadian leader in math performance, have fallen 32 points over nine years. In Manitoba, scores fell 36 points in almost a decade. This fall, the Manitoba government responded to a push from parents and announced revisions to the curriculum where by the end of Grade 4, for example, students will need to know the conventional ways of doing math and perform basic equations without a calculator.
Jeff Johnson, chair of the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada, and Alberta’s Minister of Education, said Canada’s score left him a “little disappointed,” but he added that Canadian students were still faring well globally and that the country has one of the most equitable education systems in the world where students perform well regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds.
But Anna Stokke, an associate professor in the department of math and statistics at the University of Winnipeg, argues changes are needed. Prof. Stokke is part of a group that launched a reform movement to restore some of the basics into math education. “The education culture needs to change. Educators need to recognize the importance of practice, hard work and mastering basic skills early on,” she said.
Canada did not fare too well in reading or science, either. Only one country outperformed Canada in reading in 2000, and now five do. In science, two countries outperformed Canada in 2006, and that number rose to seven.
The OECD’s tests are administered once every three years with an alternating focus on reading, math and science.
For PISA 2012, more than 500,000 15-year-olds were tested, including 21,000 Canadian students from 900 schools from all the provinces. -

看學校排名，私校列前。為什麼？老師學生努力唄。
看公校，包括其他的公立系統的，拿高薪，幹活吊兒啦當的，像話嗎？
我感覺你指出了問題的症結。公立系統的老師待遇很好，硬件很好，但口碑不好。英國Pearson說，› To existing knowledge about the importance of teachers, accountability and autonomy has been added evidence of the increasing appreciation of the importance of student and parent engagement in academic performance.公立學校要加強家長的參與，這一點要向私校學習，比如推薦課外活動，增加課後比賽項目，讓家長在課後有參與感，有目標感。

各位熱中於排名的,
看看 2012 全世界排名, 上海各項都名列第一.

你這個有些偷換概念，同樣在BC，私校就是比公校要努力認真排名要好。 -

另外，小學裡一個老師教所有科也不是好辦法，術業有專攻。
華人任何時候都應該贊成老師漲工資
