NAPLAN continues to divide opinion

By LYDIA PEDRANA AS the week of annual National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) testing wraps up for yet another year, the necessity of the assessment remains contentious. The standardised series of tests, which are administered by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), have been sat by students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 annually since 2008 and claim to assess “the types of skills that are essential for every child to progress through school and life”.

Each year, the debate over whether NAPLAN is required ignites, and this year was no different.
