NAPLAN RESULTS DELAYED

Message from Distributors

“On Thursday 5 September ACARA identified an error in the placement of the national average markers on the Years 5 and 7 NAPLAN Student Reports for Language Conventions. Importantly the NAPLAN student data is correct.

ACARA made the immediate decision to halt any further packaging and distribution of NAPLAN reports while op-tions regarding the distribution of correct NAPLAN Stu-dent Reports were considered.

ACARA is working closely with Test Administration Au-thorities (TAAs) in every state and territory to ensure correct reports are distributed.

This matter may result in the delay of the distribu-

tion of student reports, possibly to the week of 13

October, however ACARA and TAAs will seek to mini-

mise the delay.”
