IEUA Media Release NAPLAN ‘Principles’ Statement Applauded APPA Paper Considered and Thoughtful “The Australian
Primary Principals Association paper Overarching Principles Governing the Reporting and Use of
NAPLAN is a welcomed contribution to the debate on NAPLAN testing, said Independent Education Union of Australia Federal
Secretary Chris Watt. “The paper is considered and thoughtful and provides a
realistic and educationally sound platform on which further development and
improvement of the NAPLAN testing regime can be progressed, he said. “The IEUA supports a balanced and well-structured
diagnostic tool to assist schools and their teachers in delivering high quality
educational outcomes for all students. “It is absolutely critical that diagnostic tools are not
used for unintended purposes and do not create such a high stakes environment
that educational outcomes for children are put at risk, as evidenced in other
countries. “The establishment of a working party to consider the
MySchool website and the relationship with the NAPLAN testing is a welcome
initiative consistent with the APPA ‘Principles’.. Contact: Chris Watt Federal
