BREAKING Student participation in NAPLAN fell to an all-time low this year, with COVID-19, flu and floods blamed for so few students taking the standardised test. | Adam Carey and Lucy Carroll
The “historically low participation rates” have led the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority to delay the release of preliminary NAPLAN data, which is normally published in August, warning it could not be relied on for accuracy.
Participation rates ranged from a low of 85 per cent in year 9 numeracy to 95 per cent in the year 5 reading test. About 1.2 million Australian students in years 3, 5, 7, and 9 took the literacy and numeracy tests at 9313 schools and campuses in May.
