Education grant
available for
metric conversion
The Ministry of Education
will make $1.5 million in
grants available to school board;
this year to assist thetnin conv-
erting learning materials to the
metric system, Education
Minister Thomas Wells apnounc,
ed last week.
In a policy, statement to
school boards, Mr. Wells urged
boards to give increasing
priority to the metric convers-
ion program so that the goal of
conversion to the metric system
may be achieved in Ontario's
schools by 1978. Metrication
will apply to all areas of the
curriculum. The system to be
used will be the International
System of Units, commonly
known as SI.
To assist the program, the
Council of Ministers of Educat-
ion, Canada, will produce a
Metric Style Guide which will
be available to Ontario Teacher
later this year.
The Minister said the public-
ation is a reference book on
modern metric terminology and
symbolism, and does not in-
volve teaching techniques.
The imperial system will not
be phased out in a single mag-
ical Metric M Day. The quart
of milk and the pound of butter
will be with us for sometime to
come. As teachers introduce
metric conversion, they are not
expected to abandon all refer-
ence to imperial units.
"In spite of ingenious modif-
ications and creative thinking,
metrication will inevitably
create some expense and frust-
ration. The answers to many
questions cannot yet be given.
However, the Ministry expects
school boards to plan carefully
and to graduallyphase out imp-
erial usage, keeping in mind
that many lowcost changes can
be made over a period of sever-
al years," Mr. Wells said.
