Erica Stanford: Education Minister on the new school reports designed to track academic progress

The Education Minister says new nationwide school reporting will give teachers and parents clearer data on how students are performing.

Nationally consistent assessments in reading, writing and maths will roll out this year, with students ranked against one of five progress indicators twice a year.

Erica Stanford says parent reports already exist - but they’re inconsistent across schools.

"You get some schools who provide very detail-rich reporting and others who don't do that same level of detail. So we're just trying to get consistency across the board."
