The Queensland, New South Wales and Victorian Governments have organised for a review into NAPLAN with the Education Council to take place tomorrow.
The review will consider how accurate the test is assessing the student and system performance.
Queensland Education Minister Grace Grace said the government must ensure that national testing remains relevant and credible.
“Our review identified that NAPLAN had played a role in supporting improvements in Queensland’s educational outcomes, but that there was a range of unintended consequences stemming from the now high-stakes nature of the testing,” Ms Grace said.
Educational experts Emeritus Professor Barry McGaw, Professor Claire Wyatt-Smith and Emeritus Professor William Louden will lead the review tomorrow.
