Few changes expected here...
• from page 1
This doesn't mean gradecl13 is to be abolished,
rather it will be changed to provincially -designed On-
tario Academic Courses (OAC's). These coluses
provide university entrance courses common in
every secondary school across the province.
Such OAC courses as math and science are now be-
ing developed by the Ministry along with represen-
tatives of universities and colleges. Other courses
such as English will be developed in the near future.
The Ministry has stated the Ontario Academie,
Courses may be used as credits toward the OSSD or
studied after the OSSD has been received.
As has been stated previously the number of credits
needed for the OSSD is 30. This is up from the
previous 27 credits required for a diploma after grade
12. The ntunbr of compulsory credits has also been
increased from nine to 16. /
The compulsory credits include five Englishes, two
maths, two sciences and one each of French,
geography, history, social• sciences, physical and
health education, arts and business or technological
studies.
Huron Board of Education's superintendent of pro-
gram Robert McCall stated, "secondary education in
Huron Count Y has never deviated from an emphasis
on basic Allis".
He says while schools in larger populated areas
_may have strayed from basic skills to courses that
aren't always considered necessary, that hasn't been
the case in Huron.
Mr. McCall doesn't see the increase in credits need-
ed for a diploma as posing an "undue hardship on
students". The superintendent of program backs this
statement by stating, "in our secondary schools, the
average number of credits achieved per year has
been 7.5", which after four years results in 30 credits.
Emphasizing the need for schools to provide a
'basic education', Mr. McCall notes this should not be
confused with specialization in a particular trade or
profession. As an example he says an Ontario Secon-
dary School diploma does not make a student a
machinist, mechanic or a mathematician.
"The key is 'basic education'," says Mr. McCall
noting secondary, education may lead to appren-
ticeship programs or university or
If for some reason a student is unable to get enough
credits fora diploma, the Ministry has announced a
provincial certificate will be available upon request
for those students who complete 15 compulsory
coarses. These compulsory courses include two.
Edglishes, two maths, one each of French, science,
geography, history, physical and health education
and six other courses.
SERP recommendation that courses be offered at
three levels of difficulty has been accepted by the
Ministry. These three levels of difficulty are general,
basic and advanced and are along the same lines as
the previous two year, four year and five year pro-
grams, but are to be for each course.
In the Minister's response to the SERP report she
states the general -level course "will be designed to
prepare students for citizenship, for employment, for
continuous learning and for enjoyment and the prac-
tise of the arts".
"The thrust here will be with respect to
employability skills," say th Mr. McCall.
The design of basic level courses will focus on the
development of fundamental, personal skills, par-
ticularly those involving communications. Advanced
level courses take `in aspects of both general and
basic levels but the target is on preparing students
for post -secondary education.
These three levels of courses will be offered where
appropriate, Mr. McCall states.
Another aspect of the Ministry's response to SERP
is the consolidation of curriculum guidelines from
grade seven to 13. Now there are guidelines for
grades seven and eight and guidelines for grade nine
to 13.
"The consolid3tion of guidelines from grade seven
to 13 is indeed sensible move," comments Mr. Mc-
Call. .„
To ensure onsisteney across the province,
quirements r prerequisites for each course will be
stated in the u1delines.
Computers or micro-technolbgy will also be playing
a role in secondary education in the future and the
Ministry of gclucation, said Mr. McCall; is starting to
show leadership.
"We (the school board) are chaved with the
responsibility of establishing policies and procedures
in this area to ensure that the best use is made of this
technology in our school systern," says Mr. McCall.
To date in-service training for 113 elementary and
secondary school teachers on how to use computers
has been provided. More in-service training is ex-
pected during the next two years.
The changes in the diploma requirements and the
fackthe Ministry is keeping the credit definition of a
miliiinurn of 110 hours 'lends.' itself to semestered
schools. In Huron there is only one such secondary
school, Seaforth District High School. Mr. McCall
doesn't anticipate all secondary schools in the county
will be changing to the semestered system.
For now, school boards will be working to imple-
ment the new diplomas and the credit changes in
September of 1984. The board's policy on curriculum
guidelines will be prepared in the coming years and
ether changes instituted by the Minister's response to „
the SERP report will be carried out by the board as it
is informed by the Ministry.
"Schools should reflect the best,that society is
endeavoring to achieve and at the same time should •
lead society in terms of instilling in their students a
desire to improve the quality Of life for all mankind,"
states Mr. McCall.
The war ison ft*
lower gas prices...
• from page 1 . '
By the time the other twononbranded.stations had
lowered their price to 31.7 cents, Brian Hamilton
manager of the Gas Rite Gas Bar; which is located at
• the Zehrs Plaza, had changed the price of his gasoline
three times and was charging 31.9cents a litre.
• Hamilton said that he would bes.hanging the price
again because, "we are suppose to stay cheapey than
the other companies." Hamilton explains further,
"we are suppose to remain four -tenths cheaper than
the Major, companies such as Shell, Texaco, Sunoco
and Gulf."
Although most drivers take full advantage of a gas
war and. few grumble about seeing ' the price signs
change four or five times a day, some of the service
station operators are not quite so happy. As one
owner says, "I've changed my signs so any times in
the last two days I've barely had time to pump any
gas."
