The final NAPLAN results also indicate that more Victorian students than ever before are performing highly – with the percentage of Year 3 students scoring in the top two bands for Reading rising from 58 per cent in 2019 to 61.9 per cent in 2021. Koorie students improved in reading from 2019 to 2021 in Years 3, 5 and 7, and rural and regional primary students also improved their reading levels in Years 3 and 5. Those predicted to be most affected by remote learning, including Koorie, rural and regional students, had better reading results at the primary level this year than in 2019. The report shows that, while many Victorian students and families have faced profound challenges over the past two years, fears of a loss of learning as a result of the coronavirus pandemic have not eventuated. These improvements are expected to be reflected in secondary school results in the coming years as Victorian students see the benefits of targeted investment in every student and every school across the state. Students in Year 5 began Prep as the reforms began, and are now seeing the benefits of six years of dedicated investment – with primary school results improving in eight out of the 10 measures. The results show the Andrews Labor Government’s investments in the Education State are paying off. Victoria has also improved on its results since 2019 in half of the assessed measures – including the critically important foundational Reading skills in both Year 3 and Year 5 – despite the challenges of the pandemic.
