Latest data reveals digital skills amongst young Australians
18 October 2023 The first national NAP–ICT
Literacy results since the COVID-19 pandemic have been released today by the
Australia Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA).
The test, part of the
National Assessment Program (NAP) sample assessments, was undertaken in 2022
and tests students’ general ICT skills and knowledge in a sample of schools
across the country. The sample tests are held every three years but were
cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.

Share your insights on the improvements to NAPLAN this year
09 October 2023 Following a number of changes to NAPLAN in 2023 including the tests taking place earlier in March rather than May, along with the new proficiency standards, ACARA is keen to hear from principals, assistant principals, teachers, parents and carers about their NAPLAN experience this year.
We would particularly like to understand people’s views on the earlier timing for NAPLAN and the changes to reporting to provide simpler, clearer and more meaningful results to schools, parents and carers. The feedback provided will help inform any future improvements to NAPLAN.
