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 review aimed to identify gaps in knowledge about supporting students behind their peers in Years 7 and 9.

The review was administered by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and conducted by the Centre for International Research on Education Systems (CIRES) at Victoria University.
