program than is now In place Currently the Ontario Secondary School Graduation Diploma requires a total of 27 credits with 13 or 14 compulsory Under the new regime a total of credits wQl be required for the only senior high school diploma offered and 16 will be compulsory This diploma with grade students begin nlng under the system next fall will replace both the Ontario Secondary School Gradu Diploma and the Ontario Secondary School Honor Graduaton Diploma The currently requires 33 credits with no additional compulsory from that required for grade Under the new system university bound students will have to include In their 30 credits a minimum of six Ontario Academic Credits Those wishing only high school graduation will not be required to take these more difficult credits For those currently in the system the OSSGD will continue to be offered until 1089 and the until 1990 The new system will see the elimination of grade ISoffldally but It is expected that a substantial number of university bound dents will still take or five years high school preparation before tackling unlver sity anyway said Bob Williams assistant superintendent of employee services There is little doubt among local educ ators that the new program will be longer if not more difficult for the general students For the university bound student the basic requirements will be fewer but ft Is not yet known whether the Ontario academic credits will be more difficult than current fare They be more prescriptive said Williams with per cent of the content mandated by the province He expects that this ensure a more sUndardlnd pre paration for university It Is expected that the new tack will enhance the Importance of the general level program and get more people It while at the same tune

TrwtenB This concern was echoed by Trustee Anne Fairfield It will be to the detriment of university bound students to opt for general level courses even though they could get a better standing The elitist attitude not just that it is more It is in the best Interests of university bound to take those courses Williams said that in Implementing the program people will have to better under stand the meaning of basic genera and advanced In terms of courses Roy Cooper principal of High School said that students will be advised to take core courses at the advanced level If university bound There may he added have to be some bridging courses for those needing to bolster a general level standing In a subject permitted under the new system he added Viceprincipal of Central High School Scott said that most courses will have to revised for the program but at this point grade and courses are In line for the revised program Scott said that he dfdot see the changes threatening any programs more than others but that there would be difficulty in maintaining the range of op tional subjects in all schools This combined with the increase in com pulsory subjects may lead to more estab lished class units as was common before the credit system said Scott There are advantages In of a sense of belonging to have more homogenous class units he added The shortened and more precise program requirements will mean a heavier load on the guidance department ensuring that dents are properly advised on what Is needed for the direction they wish to follow Scott said fast the new program and diploma is a reflection of the desires of the public He Is satisfied that the changes will mean a more strengthened core curriculum The 16 compulsory courses include five English with at least two beyond grade 10 one second language credit of French or Anglais two math two science one Canadian geography one Canadian history a social science beyond grade 10 one credit in arts one in physical educa lion and one
