OSSLT meaning in Community ?

The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT; French: test provincial de compétences linguistiques or TPCL) is a compulsory standardized test for secondary school students in Ontario who wish to obtain the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. For students who entered Grade 9 in 1999–2000, successful completion of the test was not a graduation requirement. However, for those students who took the field test of the OSSLT in 2000–2001, failed the test, and chose to retake the OSSLT in October 2001, successful completion of the provincial literacy graduation requirement became a diploma requirement. It is administered by the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO).

The OSSLT is written every year in March or April in order to assess students' reading and writing skills. The test is taken by all of the province's public secularized and separate secondary schools, and private secondary schools in Ontario. The test is either administered in either English or French, dependent on whether or not the student is enrolled in a anglophone, or francophone school system.
