NAPLAN results released this morning show a third of students nationwide below expected standards, in a result almost unchanged from a year ago. With the test now in its 19th year, the report generated the familiar concerned headlines and comparisons between schools. Behind the year-to-year scores is the story of the NAPLAN test itself – slowly being reformed from a ranking tool to a diagnostic tool after a 2023 redesign. But the barriers to improving student performance will require a multi-pronged approach across the administration of exams, embedding of literacy and numeracy within the curriculum, and adequate staffing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
