Shapiro, in a news conference at Northgate Middle School just outside Pittsburgh, said about one-third of Pennsylvania schools already provide the tests online and that, in 2026, all schools will be required to administer the tests online, instead of through pencil-and-paper tests.

All PSSA tests will move online in 2026 in an effort to save more classroom time for instruction, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Thursday.

The governor said administering the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) and the Keystone Exams in classrooms creates a “huge burden” on students and teachers. The post Shapiro plan will move standardized tests for Pennsylvania students online by 2026 appeared first on Pennsylvania Capital-Star.

Standardized tests taken by Pennsylvania students across the Commonwealth will soon shift toward a virtual format on computers.
