» View answer Yes. Subsection 9(6) of the Education Quality and Accountability Act authorizes EQAO to collect information that is relevant to its mandate. The questionnaires are all completed anonymously. EQAO tabulates the questionnaire responses and presents findings for schools, school boards and the province as a whole. EQAO respects provincial privacy legislation and does not release data if it would be possible for someone to trace the data to particular respondents.
