"Graduation standards" refers to the specific requirements or criteria that students must meet in order to successfully complete their education and receive a diploma or degree.
With teacher support, students determine their own curriculum and decide how they will meet graduation standards through seminars or independent projects. (projectfoundry.com)
The first mistake was the decision to delay new graduation standards by five years to 2022. (studentsfirstny.org)
The key of course is just what the phrase «while keeping graduation standards constant» means. (educationnext.org)
