In February, 2022, the Ministry of Education released Policy/Programme Memorandum 167 which details the new OSSD graduation goal of completing 2 eLEARN courses. It is recommended that all students complete 2 asynchronous eLearn credits unless a student, in consultation with their parents/guardians have chosen to “opt out” or are exempted in accordance with the processes described in the memorandum (PPM167). 

Asynchronous eLearning refers to those credit courses that are delivered entirely online and do not require students to be physically present with one another or with their teacher in school except where they may be needed for exams and final evaluations. 

Please read the attached form, sign and return this form to your school guidance office to indicate you would like to "opt out" of this new eLEARN OSSD requirement.  A hard copy is also available in the Guidance Office and students can also print out a copy from their respective grade level Google Classrooms.
