Summary Note "In 2008 the National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) was established requiring primary and secondary students to sit standardised examinations every two years from Year 3 to Year 9. The NAPLAN testing and its reporting, including via the MySchool website, has generated a great deal of debate about its efficacy and legitimacy as a measure of comparative school standards and arguments about the confidence that can be placed in the tests themselves. However, there has been little debate, and a lack of research, on the more fundamental question of the impact the high stakes testing regime might have on the well-being of students and their family circumstances. As high stakes testing becomes more deeply embedded in the educational landscape it is important that questions such as these be interrogated as a basis for better informed policy making. This project seeks to examine these questions concerning the high stakes testing regime within the context of the purposes of education, and the best interests of the children, as they are defined in the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians and relevant policy commitments." - Website.
