National Literacy and Numeracy Tests

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:57): My question is again to the Minister for Education, Training and Skills. Has the South Australian Department for Education been provided with any information related to the performance of South Australia's sectors in relation to the 2022 NAPLAN tests?

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills) (14:57): I again thank the Deputy Leader of the Opposition for his question. I have some information to hand, which is that the ACARA board on 24 August decided not to publish the 2022 NAPLAN summary report due to historically low participation rates as a result of the pandemic, flu and floods, which were of course national issues. Instead, ACARA will only publish NAPLAN 2022 results in the final NAPLAN national report later this year.
