TL;DR
Quebec teachers are urging the government to revamp the province's ministerial exams, arguing they are outdated and put undue stress on students. These exams are said to be misaligned with modern educational practices, and teachers are calling for a more flexible assessment approach that emphasizes creativity and critical thinking over memorization. The teachers' union is advocating for a collaborative effort with the government to reassess and improve the current exam system to better support students' learning and succeed in the changing global landscape.
