Regents' Diploma-Exam Elimination Sparks Claims of Diluted Standards
TL;DR Summary
The New York Daily News Editorial Board blasts the state Board of Regents and Education Department for dropping the Regents exams as a graduation requirement, arguing it waters down standards without a clear replacement and risks accountability and equity. It criticizes Commissioner Betty Rosa and Chancellor Lester Young Jr., notes that top metro high schools’ diplomas still carry weight, and warns that details are due soon with implementation aimed at the 2027-28 school year, leaving little time for public debate or a universal, transparent framework.
