Why Private Schools Are Asking for Your Kids’ NAPLAN Results The recent release of National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) results has highlighted a concerning trend: many private schools are now requiring parents to submit their children's scores as part of the application process.
In Brisbane, two thirds of these schools explicitly demand NAPLAN results, placing undue pressure on students and their families.
Critics argue that NAPLAN scores are being misused as a proxy for academic merit, leading to anxiety and competition among students.
