AUSTRALIAN Education Ministers have decided to can NAPLAN testing for 2020.
The decision, which is a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, was made today (March 20).
ACT Education Minister Yvette Berry says: “Not proceeding with NAPLAN this year will be of great relief to the operation of schools in facilitating NAPLAN testing at this time.”
“Under the most challenging of circumstances, our teachers are showing up every day to continue educating our students,” she says.
The decision not to proceed with NAPLAN in May also means the coordinated practice test scheduled for next week will not go ahead.
