For the upcoming high school graduates, community volunteer hours continue to be a difficult hurdle to overcome, as the pandemic continues.
In acknowledgment, the Ontario Ministry of Education has revised the 40-hour community involvement graduation requirement, so students will not be held back by the challenges related to COVID-19.
Student graduates of the 2020-21 school year only require 20 hours of community involvement activities to get their Ontario secondary school diploma.
Also, students aged 14 years and older can count up to a maximum of 10 hours from paid employment towards their earned hours, with pre-approval. If students count paid hours, they will be required to complete a reflection exercise to indicate how their work contributed to society.
