    Proposed graduation requirements revive debate over standardized testing

    Massachusetts state officials propose new standardized exams in English, math, and science as part of high school graduation requirements, reviving debate over testing after voters eliminated the MCAS requirement in 2024. The proposal includes MassCore coursework, capstone projects, and financial/digital literacy requirements, but does not clarify if passing the tests is mandatory for graduation. Supporters argue for consistency in diplomas, while critics claim it reintroduces high-stakes testing under a new name.
