NAPLAN standards have been revised upwards for this year.
"They show strong performance among Australian students in literacy and numeracy skills, but also provide clear information on areas requiring improvement."
The results showed girls outperformed boys in literacy in every year group, while boys generally achieved stronger results in numeracy. But better results overall tended to go to students from higher socio-economic backgrounds and in urban areas.While about 10 per cent of students nationally were in the "needs additional support" level, that rose to about 33 per cent for Indigenous students.
