Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, the results indicated that students in both the Yellowknife School District No. 1 and the South Slave were not adequate in the math tests. In discussions with some of the officials with the school boards, there were a number of areas that cropped up as possibilities that should be looked at.

Like all tests, they need to be interpreted and properly analyzed. One of the issues, of course, that Mr. Bell has referred to is the fact that the process being used in the questions require a literacy application as well. It was brought to our attention during a meeting with the school board to that end.

What I have done on my part is discussed with my officials at the department what we can do as a department to assist boards that get results and how to interpret the results.

In the early part of the new year, we will be having some training sessions, Mr. Speaker, to assist school boards on how to interpret tests so that maximum use can be made of these particular tests and to ensure that all circumstances of how the tests were taken are taken into account. As Mr. Bell has pointed out, literacy is one area. Thank you.
