Ontario high school students will soon be required to do some online learning.
The Ford government will be requiring students to take two online courses to graduate from secondary school.
The move takes effect in the 2020 school year.
The PC’s previously announced students would need four online credits, but Education Minister Stephen Lecce says the province is trying to demonstrate that it’s being reasonable.
Lecce stresses students need the ability to learn in a world of ever evolving technology.
He notes the initiative allows Ontario to be a “global leader of modern and digital education.”
