Abstract

Massachusetts voters have supported the removal of the state's standardized test as a high school graduation requirement, despite opposition from business leaders and Governor Maura Healey. The exam, known as the MCAS, will no longer be a prerequisite for graduation, although students will still need to sit for the test under federal guidelines. The debate over standardized testing in Massachusetts has drawn support from public figures on both sides, with concerns raised about the impact on academic success and the state's competitive advantage in education.
