Canada: Glitch rectified after entire graduating class fails

From Thursday's Globe and Mail:

The Ministry of Education appears to have rectified a computer error that led to more than 300 graduating students at North Peace Secondary School receiving transcripts saying they failed.

The ministry sent out new high school transcripts to students this week, said district school superintendent Ron Samborski, and universities and the district office will also receive updated marks for the students.

Last week, official transcripts of high school marks said that every student had not met the requirements for graduation, with grades for non-examinable courses not appearing on the document.

The glitch likely occurred when data were sent from the high school to the ministry, but what exactly occurred remains unknown.
