NAPLAN results reveal the strongest results tended towards non-Indigenous students in urban areas from the highest socio-economic backgrounds; fewer than 30 per cent of students in very remote schools rated as "strong" or "exceeding" in literacy and numeracy; and only 20 per cent of students who fall behind in Year 3 catch up by the time they reach Year 9.
Who'd have thought? I imagine public school teachers could have saved taxpayers a NAPLAN bucket-load because they knew these things already.
