House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time National Literacy and Numeracy Tests National Literacy and Numeracy Tests The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER House of Assembly Morialta Deputy Leader of the Opposition National Literacy and Numeracy Tests The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:55): My question is to the Minister for Education, Training and Skills. Can the minister advise when the public will be advised of state and territory performance in the 2022 NAPLAN tests? The Hon. B.I. BOYER House of Assembly Wright Minister for Education, Training and Skills National Literacy and Numeracy Tests The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills) (14:56): I thank the member for Morialta, the deputy leader, for his question on NAPLAN. As I think he is probably aware, we have had a delay in the public release of the NAPLAN testing from this year. I think it was due to a particularly low turnout, I am advised. However, I am reassured—and I think it is a decision, from memory, that sits with ACARA, which is a national body—that they will be released by the end of the year. I don't have a precise date for the member at this stage. It was in fact a question that I asked of my own staff and department just yesterday. I was reassured that we would be told by ACARA very soon about what that date is. There is a national reason not specific to any issues that were identified during testing in South Australia as to why we aren't having those results made public at the usual time.
