I thought I was the only one, and was a little scared to say that I have the same point of view as you on the NAPLAN. Also overseas in a lot of the European countries, where they have National education systems, they have the same sort of testing and it seems necessary to its running, If we are to have national curriculum we need national testing and transparency.

Your position seems to be well thought out. Many of these mandated tests are good in theory, we do need accountability at every level. I am working in an environment with 0 accountability and it is not successful. There has to be a happy balance somewhere in here. I don’t know much about NAPLAN from my vantage point across the pond.
