The Ontario government says it will invest $60 million in a new digital learning platform aimed at improving classroom resources and student outcomes across the province.
Beginning in September 2026, teachers in all publicly funded school boards will have access to Nelson Education’s Edwin platform, offering curriculum-aligned resources for Grades 1 through 12 in English and French.
“By giving teachers access to high-quality, curriculum-aligned resources, we are helping ensure students are learning the Ontario curriculum in a more consistent way across all 72 school boards,” Education Minister Paul Calandra said. “Teachers will have better information about student progress, helping them identify challenges earlier and respond more quickly to student needs. At the same time, school boards and the province will have a clearer picture of how students are performing across Ontario, helping identify trends to ensure resources and supports are directed where they are needed most.”
The government said teachers will have access to lesson plans, videos, presentations and interactive tools while retaining the flexibility to use additional materials approved by their school boards.
The province also announced new mandatory assessment standards for Grades 9 to 12 intended to create greater consistency in grading practices.
