Abstract

A primary concern of Australian parents is whether their child’s school does everything possible to allow them to achieve their best possible academic results. Test results from the National Assessment Plan – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN), published annually by the Australian Government, have been accepted by parents as a tool for assessing which Australian schools are performing best in this regard. When NAPLAN results are lower than the average, parents seek explanations.
