Improving the quality, accessibility and endurability of national school data architecture.

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.

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

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.

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

This is a summary of findings from AERO’s 2022 analysis of student writing data – the most extensive investigation into this area ever conducted in Australia.
