Did You Know?

Nearly 1 in 5 Australian students starts secondary school at or below minimum standards for literacy or numeracy, which puts them at least 3 years behind their peers. Students who struggle with literacy and numeracy are more likely to:

  • disengage from school

  • leave before the end of Year 12

  • have worse health and employment outcomes post-school.

Despite its importance, Australian students are struggling with writing. NAPLAN data shows there has been no improvement in Years 3 and 5, and a moderate decline in Years 7 and 9 over the last 10 years.
