The percentage of fully participating TDSB students who were successful on the OSSLT in 2025-26 is:

  • The same for First Time Eligible (FTE) students as the 2024-25 TDSB results (84.7% compared to 84.7%), and 0.9 percentage points lower than the 2025-26 Provincial results (84.7% compared to 85.6%)

The TDSB's Literacy Strategy 2024-2028 will ensure that all students achieve high levels of literacy regardless of their background or social identity. A focus will be placed on providing specific oral language, reading and writing instruction and learning experiences that cultivate a sense of joy, engagement and belonging.
