Experts say the overhauled literacy and numeracy results are a “wake-up call” as many students fall below expected levels of proficiency in basic knowledge areas.
NAPLAN data shows 28.9 per cent of Victorian students are falling behind, particularly in grammar and punctuation.
The 2023 NAPLAN test set a new baseline for results, removing the ability to compare students’ progress from previous years. Experts said the results were a “wake-up call” for Australia, as they exposed a “long tail of underperforming students” previously masked by low minimum standards. An average of 9.8 per cent nationwide, across all year levels and assessments, needed additional support, 23 per cent were developing, 50.4 per cent were strong and 15.1 per cent were exceeding.
Victoria’s best results were in year 5 reading, where 24.4 per cent of students were exceeding expectations, and year 7 spelling, where it was 21.8 per cent. There were also considerable numbers exceeding in year 5 spelling, 21.7 per cent and year 3 reading, 21.2 per cent.
