Pereira: Chris Pereira

Chris Pereira: During his final year of high school, Pereira rushed to meet the programs requirements, even taking university-level math courses at night. But a low grade forced him to retake a math course after graduating, according to The Star. The deleterious impact of the so-called victory lap is laid out in a new report, released Tuesday by the Lets Talk Science organization, sponsored by biopharmaceutical company Amgen and Chris Pereira realized too late that he needed specific high school math classes to get into Ryersons Urban Planning program. Hes not alone in needing remedial high school courses. Each year, tens of thousands of students in Ontario return to high school because they need more math and science to get into their chosen job or post-secondary studies. That delays their entry into the workforce and ultimately costs the Canadian economy millions. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
