The introduction of the National Assessment Program –
Literacy and Numeracy in 2008 commenced a new era in
reporting student achievement to parents. It was the first time
all students in Australia in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 had been tested
on aspects of literacy and numeracy using the same year level
tests.
