Today ACARA has released the NAPLAN
2015 summary information.
These results are being released
two weeks earlier than last year, and six weeks
earlier than previous years,
building on the Australian Government’s commitment
for a faster turnaround of NAPLAN
results.

Overall, the results from the
NAPLAN tests in May show stable national achievement,
as well as some improvements
nationally and in each state and territory
(for some year levels and some
domains).
ACARA CEO, Robert Randall, says
that while stability is good, the community
may well expect more improvement
over time.
“Improvement in NAPLAN results
comes about when student learning improves,”
Mr Randall says.
“Literacy and numeracy are the
foundations of learning at and beyond school.
If student knowledge, skills and
understanding are not improving in these areas,
it is a cause for reflection.”
On a national level:
Reading at Year 3 saw a
statistically significant increase from 2008 –
a continuation of the long-term
trend. Year 5, 7 and 9 results have
remained stable from 2008 and 2014.
Numeracy at Year 5 saw a
statistically significant increase from 2008.
All year levels have remained
stable from 2014.
Spelling at Year 5 saw a
statistically significant increase from 2008.
All year levels have remained
stable from 2014.
Grammar/punctuation at Year 3 saw a
statistically significant increase from 2008.
All year levels have remained
stable from 2014.
Writing at Year 3 saw a
statistically significant increase from 2014.
Year 7 and Year 9 had a
statistically significant decrease from 2011.
