Student standards to be increased

Associated Press

Oklahoma City The state Board of Education has voted to make changes in student proficiency standards for third- through eighth-graders.

The change raises the standards for the students taking math and reading tests.

State Superintendent Sandy Garrett says the higher standards will likely mean a significant drop in the reported proficiency rate of students. Garrett says the change is needed to keep Oklahoma students competitive nationally and internationally.

She says schools will have to increase efforts to help students become proficient in math and reading.
