              Mathematics, Science and Technology Education.

              The first year of the project involved a small-scale pilot
              study of 500 students in three schools of technology at Seneca
              College. Since then, the project has been expanded across the
              province with this report analyzing the school and college
              achievement records of 80,000 students, involving all 24
              Ontario colleges and 72 District School Boards
