HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT SYSTEM The new high school credit system which enables students to design their own timetable, has prompted vigorous discussion among teachers, parents and students throughout the province. Gone is the rigid pass-or-perish Grade I3 final examination, and the time when if a student failed one sub- ject or two the entire year had to be repeated. Today graduating students are judg- ed on their complete school experience. Each subject taken and passed earns a credit, just as in university. This system is the result of five years of discussion among educators and teach- ers who were anxious to provide a more dynamic and flexible approach to sec- ondary education. ; The Philosophy, the problems and the benefits of Ontario's new high school credit program are discussion with Education Minister Thomas Wells by broadcasters Carole Taylor and Bruce Phillips on the OECA Special "The Quiet Revolution in the High School". Ken Cavanaugh hosts the program and gives viewers a brief and precise ex- planation of how the credit system works. : The special will be shown on CHFD for Schreiber residence during Educa- tional week April 8-I4th.
