In May 2008, the first of the National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests were implemented. These tests replaced the previous State and Territory-based assessments and have the support of all Education Ministers.
In 2009, the NAPLAN tests will be held on Tuesday 12 May to Thursday 14 May. The Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA), through the Australian Education Systems Officials Committee (AESOC), has directed Curriculum Corporation to project manage the tests in 2008 and 2009.
The results from these national literacy and numeracy tests will provide an important measure of how Australian schools and students are performing in the areas of reading, writing, spelling and numeracy. The results from the assessment program will be used for individual student reporting to parents, school reporting to their communities, and aggregate reporting by States and Territories against national standards.
The NAPLAN tests will be administered by the Test Administration Authorities that currently oversee the testing programs in each State and Territory. Further information about the testing procedures will be provided to schools through their Test Administration Authority.
