The Gonski Institute for Education is calling for the government to ditch NAPLAN tests rather than reform them and replace the standardised exams with tests that put the interest of students first.

In its new report, “Putting Students First,” the Gonski Institute has proposed new sample-based testing of students that “builds trust and capacity,” moving away from NAPLAN’s census approach that has a “strong focus on accountability.”
