This project identifies trends, challenges and opportunities in education datasets and generates actionable insights that can support improved outcomes in schools and ECEC services.

By examining literacy and numeracy results across assessments, we can better understand the performance of Australian students over time; we can pinpoint areas of national strength and weakness and improve Australia’s educational outcomes.

This resource details strategies for engaging with families of children in out-of-home care (OOHC) to support children’s learning and development outcomes.

This research summary explains the methodology for a data analysis of students' backgrounds and their influence on literacy and numeracy achievement.

We found less than 1 in 5 students who perform below the national minimum standards in literacy and numeracy in the Year 3 NAPLAN tests catch up and stay caught up.

The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) conducted an online survey and a series of interviews as part of a project commissioned by the AERO. The survey and interviews were focused on students in Years 7 to 9 who lack the foundational literacy and numeracy skills that are required to engage with a secondary curriculum.

This explainer provides an introduction to the multi-tiered system of supports framework (MTSS) for secondary school leaders and teachers looking to support students in improving their literacy and numeracy skills.

This paper is the second in a series of analytical insights papers, which provide accessible, up-to-date analysis of educational datasets.

This guide aims to help secondary school leaders and teachers assist students in Years 7 to 9 who have significant gaps in foundational literacy and numeracy skills.

This paper is the first in a series of analytical insights papers, which provide accessible, up-to-date analysis of educational datasets.

We look at who is not sitting the tests and why that matters.
