Testing for the 2026 NAPLAN assessments has now been completed.
Around 4.5 million online tests were taken by about 1.3 million students in over 9,300 campuses and schools across Australia. These figures are a testament to the exceptional efforts of teachers and principals around the country to support our students to complete the assessments.
ACARA CEO, Stephen Gniel, said:
“A big thank you to the 1.3 million students who sat NAPLAN 2026 and to the teachers and principals who supported them to do their best and show their literacy and numeracy skills.
“When technical issues arise in schools or the wider community is impacted by extreme weather, this disrupts students and teachers. We need to recognise and acknowledge this up front and make sure that we don’t dismiss or diminish the impact. It is thanks to the amazing resilience and professionalism of our principals and teachers that our students across the country have completed their assessments.”
