The 2024 NAPLAN results reveal that one in three Australian school students are falling short of literacy and numeracy benchmarks, with over 10% needing additional support. The Grattan Institute’s Jordana Hunter highlights that these figures signal a significant issue with foundational learning and calls for urgent educational reforms. The results underscore the need for changes in classroom practices and funding to address disparities, as current resources are failing to meet expectations. Federal Education Minister Jason Clare emphasizes the necessity of linking increased funding to reform efforts.
